Is there a way to do this? For instance, if I need to attempt to restart the AppleFileServer on the remote end if I can’t mount an AFP volume?
Yes it is possible:
do shell script “ssh @ \‘sudo serveradmin stop afp; sudo serveradmin start afp\’”
The only downfall is that you have to enter 2 times the passwords. Once to make a SSH connection, and the second time to do the sudo.
I’m currently looking to find a way to get that password into the Apple Script and send it’s output directly in the script.
Want to be able to let a poweruser to just push a button and the voila the AFP service is restarted.
Does someone know how?
