How can i automate a set of terminal ssh commands to a clickable icon?

Question

hi everyone,
i have set up an old mac mini as a headless server with my usb external harddrive connected to it, and with file sharing and ssh enabled.
on the same network from my macbook, i wish to be able to eject the external harddrive so that i can take the harddrive with me but leave the mac mini running.
i consider myself very competent with computers, but not to the level of coding and scripting. the macbook is running 10.7.4 and the mac mini 10.4.11
with the help of google, thus far, i have been able to figure out what to type into terminal on the macbook in order to achieve the desired result of ejecting the harddrive from the mac mini....
ssh [email protected]
(wait for the password prompt and then enter the password (Admin, same as username).
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1
This works, however it's a laborious process to go through for something I will want to do fairly regularly and quickly.
Is there an easy way to consolodate this process into an icon i can just run from my dock, which will automatically run this code and enter the password? i have looked into writing the code into a "shell script" but could not figure out how to get it to enter the password or how to make it executable.
i would appreciate any advice! thankyou

Answer 1

This is what I did... it is quick and dirty!
1 exported the app "Project"
2 imported the app "project" and renamed it "project2". Doing this means that I won't cause any damage to his current application
3 examined authentication- currently set to Application Express. Application Express requires that the user and passwords match account created in the admin section of application express.
4 We're after a scheme that authorises based on a table of users in the application workspace schema. The authentication scheme just needs to know the name of a function which has a standard signiture such as fn_auth(p_username varchar2, p_password varchar2) return boolean;
In the SQL Workshop I looked at the "user" table to be used and noticed that it does not contain a loginname column so for this example based this on a case insensitive first name and last name concatenation (with a space in the middle).
Now we need to add a simple authenticate function...
create or replace fn_auth (p_username varchar2, p_password varchar2) return boolean is
begin
for x in(select 1 from student where upper(trim(first_name' 'family_name))=upper(p_username) and upper(password)=p_password) loop
return true;
end loop;
return false;
end;
5 And finally modify the app to use this new function. Add a new scheme and in the Login Processing section of the ahthentication scheme modify the function to
return fn_auth
6 As an aside, I also added a report of user names and their passwords which is shown on page 101 if the user is running in debug mode. Obviously, this would need to be stripped out when the app was released to production. This will not show if the URL is navigated to and the user is not logged in as an APEX developer by using a condition based on a funtion body and the following to determine whether the app is being run for a user or for a developer:
IF APEX_Application.g_edit_cookie_session_id IS NOT NULL THEN return true;
ELSE
return false;
END IF;
