Is there anyway to bypass the logon screen and have the os boot straight into a user instead of asking for a user and password so i can just bypass the logon screen altogether. If not oh well. Fedex will only cost me like 100bucks to get her back home and to apple.

I having trouble with an application not prompting for administrator privileges (thank you Blizzard's WOW installer) and I'm looking for an OS X equivalent of Windows' RunAs.
I am familiar with tinlyx
sudo , but don't want to use it as it is often a pain to drill down to the relevant binary in the application package.

You can use an application called Pseudo to run any application as root. It's nothing more than a shell for
sudo , but will accomplish your goal of not having to dig around in application bundles.
I would not recommend using it in this case, though. Broken program can do far more damage as root than as a normal user, and if the WOW installer isn't doing what it's supposed to when you're not an admin, I wouldn't trust it with root priviliges.
Just run the installer logged in as an admin. If that doesn't help, your problem is somewhere else.

This is probably rare enough that it's not worth going to great lengths to make the process elegant, but you can write a very simple Applescript to elevate an app for you. There are lots of ways to approach it, but if you want it to show you a file picker and then prompt for the Administrator password you could use something like:
open will figure out how to find the executable in a App bundle. This will also work with other file types, for instance system configuration files.
You could also make this a droplet or a script menu entry that worked on the current Finder selection. If you add the text:
password 'yourPass' to the end of the second line then you can suppress the authentication prompt, but I certainly wouldn't recommend that.

Every time connecting to the secure wireless, Macs are getting a prompt to verify the certificate:
![]() Verify Certificate
Authenticating to network 'Network-Name'
Program Not Prompting For Security Mac Os X
Before authenticating to server 'ServerName', you should examine the server's certificate to ensure that it is appropriate for this network.
To view the certificate click 'Show Certificate'.
Screenshot below; some names redacted.
This is happening on multiple Macs, every time they reconnect to the wireless. I thought it was a cert trust issue, but selecting 'Always trust' does not have any effect. Also the cert is signed by DigiCert.
Suppose my java program is HelloWorld.java. We can run it in 2 ways: 1st using executable jar. 2nd by running java class from terminal. Create a new text file and name it hello.sh. In hello.sh!/bin/bash clear java -jar HelloWorld.jar. To create a shell script that will execute in Terminal when you open it, name it with the “command” extension, e.g., file.command. By default, these are sent to Terminal, which will execute the file as a shell script. An executable bash script in mac for running a java program. Sep 16, 2018 Edit Article How to Compile & Run Java Program Using Command Prompt. In this Article: Article Summary Compiling and Running Troubleshooting Community Q&A While many programming environments will allow you to compile and run a program within the environment, you can also compile and run using Command Prompt. Replace /path/to/srcds by the path where you installed the program (the directory where the srcds_run executable is). If you use a Windows editor to edit the script, make sure to tell it to use Unix (LF) line endings; Windows (CRLF) line endings won't work.
This seems to be a problem on OS 10.11, but I haven't confirmed that previous OSes are able to actually trust the cert. Other OSes are not having this problem.
How can I permanently trust this cert so it remembers it next time I connect? What could be causing this?

I had this issue with a user at my work and I was able to resolve the issue by removing the Macbook from our domain, deleting the certificate, and then rejoining the Macbook to the domain. After I did that it just asked to verify the cert once and then it was good.
