**edit** [[Could someone please take the time to refer me to something showing me how to create an icon that when clicked will open terminal and run the command: "telnet 10.157.183.10" It is very urgent that I get this done as this mac is to become our master inventory check in terminal. ]]

I don't really fool around much in the terminal except to log into my offices terminal database.

I've put two new macs in the office and two of my employees are older and don't understand how to enter the commands. Is there a way I can automate the process to run

>telnet 10.157.183.10 (send command)

After that command it automatically logs into the TAMS server and they understand the rest. So how can I get it so they can click an icon, terminal opens, and runs the "telnet 10.157.183.10" command automatically?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could place the following 3 lines into a file and then using the Info panel set the file to be opened in Terminal App when double clicked.

#!/bin/bash
telnet 10.1.0.102
exit


You'll also have to, from the terminal type the followling after you have created the file. I named mine termit.bash. The file needs execute permissions for the people who will run it. You'll need to do this and the ab ove Terminal App association for each system you copy it to.

chmod ugo+x termit.csh

I found an alternate way via a member at macrumors.com.

If you open Applescript''s ScriptEditor you can write the following command and save it as an Application Bundle and it will do exactly what I want it to.

(Type in script below)
tell application "Terminal" to do script "telnet 10.157.183.10"

Then click Compile. And go File Menu->Save As->File Name (but save file format as "application bundle"

That is another good alternative.
