Hi All,
I am using applescript to run a application using Do Shell Script my code looks like

do shell script “cd;cd desktop;cd Idrive”
do shell script "sudo stunnel " with administrator privileges

My intention is to go into the application folder (idrive) and run the application(stunnel).Running stunnel requires administrator permissions.if i use the above code the do shell script is not able to see my application and gives a error Stunnel not found.WHere am i going wrong.Pls help me out

Thanks in advance

You can use a single line:

do shell script "sudo /path/to/stuff" with administrator privileges
--> eg:
do shell script "sudo ~/Desktop/Idrive/stunnel" with administrator privileges

This should work, unless “ldrive” is a disk, which won’t be located in your desktop, but usually in “/Volumes/ldrive/stunnel”
