Not sure why you need applescript to run something at the command line.. Anyhow, What seem to want is to have your route command executed every time you reboot. You can do this adding the command to your /System/Library/StartupItems everything in that folder gets run when the system boots.. You could follow this example but of course change the command from an ifconfig to your route command. http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030327113141312 good luck On Sunday, June 15, 2003, at 03:43 PM, J.Torrey wrote: > > Thank you very much; this is spot on! :-) > > > On Sunday, June 15, 2003, at 11:47 AM, Michael McPherson wrote: > >> http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html might be of >> help. >> >> >> On Sunday, June 15, 2003, at 12:01 PM, J.
