I need to run an app at startup/login on my mac. I want it to launch in the background and start doing it's work without interrupting me or me having to start it up because I invariably forget and then when I need it, it wasn't running!

I have tried using applescript to tell terminal to run it and type my password in, but it ends up opening multiple Terminal windows and not working. Ideally I need a script that I can just add to the user login items and it will run for me.

The app has no way of taking a password argument either and it has a password as well as the sudo! I need a solution that can either be done as an applescript (which can be made into an executable) or i need a commandline script but I have no idea about them.

This is the manual code I type

>sudo serverStatus
>password:123456
>password:serverpass

Not sure if this is the right stack to ask, but I have no idea now and it's above my head!

Thanks :D

My applescript:

tell application Terminal
 activate
 do shell script "sudo serverStatus"
 delay 5
 do shell script "123456"
 delay 2
 do shell script "serverpass"
end tell
