Mac OSX 10.7 Lion problems

Experimental batch script
So, I was in need of using something like a pointer in a batch script, and I wondered if it were possible.

WSH, RUNAS, Automation, etc…
Okay… So, I’ve been working on getting an automation script to work that runs a dos command as another user (namely Administrator) without requiring user interaction. So the RUNAS command is a good choice for a start.
