OSASCRIPT

today we used osascript to command our own computers, and other people's. using osascript, we could make the computer talk (see below), open and close apps, and much more. this link has some good, simple, beginner osascript.

Voices

Zarvox, Bruce, Bells, Bahh, Bad News, Victoria, Alex, Fred, Hysterical

sudo open /Applications/iTunes.app; sudo osascript -e 'say "Play some music. Go on. I dare you." using "Zarvox"'

sudo osascript -e 'say "[whatever]" using "Zarvox"'

then we opened the unix ebook and checked out some commands.

ls -lax

ls -la

ls -l

ls -AF

less .bash_history

anything with a . in front is not supposed to be seen, but using ls -AF shows all files

using this we found the hidden Library folder. In here there are many things including web history, web bookmarks, and other slightly scary items.
