Dipende se vuoi restare con la shell, o usare il applescript. Questo script di applescript ti offre un popup per la password:
do shell script "defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf globalstate -int SomeInteger" with administrator privileges
tell application "System Events" to if (first application process whose name is "System Preferences") exists then
tell application "System Preferences"
quit
delay 1
activate
set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.security"
end tell
tell application process "System Preferences" to tell window 1 to tell tab group 1 to tell radio button "Firewall" to perform action "AXPress"
end if
Nel terminale, sembra disordinato:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf globalstate -int SomeInteger; osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to if (first application process whose name is "System Preferences") exists then' -e 'tell application "System Preferences"' -e 'quit' -e 'delay 1' -e 'activate' -e 'set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.security"' -e 'end tell' -e 'tell application process "System Preferences" to tell window 1 to tell tab group 1 to tell radio button "Firewall" to perform action "AXPress"' -e 'end if'
