Use Platypus to create apps from scripts
Authored by: TigerKR on Nov 13, '04 02:53:51AM
Ok, time for the responses:

1. I do use password-less SSH 2-DSA keys (I use SSH Helper, for key generation and management, great app), all of my machines that have password-less keys are physically secure.

2. I screwed up in my explanation. My office box is on a LAN behind a separate firewall box, my mail server box is on a different LAN behind another separate firewall box (gotta love old blue and white G3 towers) and the two LANs are separated by the intarweb.

I actually tunnel from my office box through the remote firewall (where I have login access), straight to the mail server.

Office Workstation --> Firewall --> Intarweb --> Firewall --> Mail Server

Even though I'm a retard and screwed up the part about sshing, the point that I was trying to make, was that:

Platypus is a great solution for getting command line scripts or programs to run without any interface at user login (and it does so much more).

Please accept my sincere apologies for being a moron on the path to making my ultimate point.
