Hi All,



We have a script that we locally install on each computer. Does anybody know how I can add a delay so the user has time to type in their password to mount network disks before terminal automatically closes?



Thanks.

Is this script triggered by an event (startup, login, etc.), running on a schedule, or is it manually executed? If you could provide an example of what the script is doing, it would be helpful.

If your you using a script your could do it in bash using the sleep command. I sometimes use it to ensure the network connection is established before trying to do a network task.

Here's one way:



sleep 1800 && osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to quit'


The 1800 is seconds. Probably longer than you need, but you get the idea
Is there a reason you are using terminal for password input?
