Adding and removing individual login items from Terminal
Here's an AppleScript to deal with login items already in the list. --Run the script --Select one or more login items from the list and click OK. --Choose whether to reveal the login item in the Finder or to remove it from the current login items. --See if it works for you! (Tip: try revealing 'em first and if you don't really want 'em removed after you test removing, just open login items in the Accounts (or Users and Groups) System prefpane and drag 'em back in there!)
tell application "System Events" activate set loginItems to name of every login item choose from list loginItems with multiple selections allowed end tell set theResult to result if theResult is false then tell me to quit else activate if (count of items of theResult) is not 0 then if (count of items of theResult) is 1 then display dialog "What do you want to do with" & space & every item of theResult & "?" buttons {"Cancel", "Reveal it", "Remove it"} else display dialog "What do you want to do with the selected login items?" buttons {"Cancel", "Reveal them", "Remove them"} end if if button returned of result contains "Remove" then repeat with i in theResult tell application "System Events" delete (every login item whose name is (i as text)) end tell end repeat else if button returned of result contains "Reveal" then repeat with i in theResult set target_string to (do shell script "defaults read loginwindow | grep Path | grep" & space & (quoted form of i)) set this_offset to offset of "\"" in target_string set x to text (this_offset + 1) thru -3 of target_string tell application "Finder" to set home_path to (POSIX path of (path to "cusr")) set actual_item to replace_chars(x, "~/", home_path) set g to POSIX file actual_item tell application "Finder" activate reveal g end tell end repeat end if end if end if
on replace_chars(this_text, bahad, goohood) set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the bahad set the item_list to every text item of this_text set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the goohood as string set this_text to the item_list as string set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "" return this_text end replace_chars |
