Automatically starting CumulusMX on OXS without password

[Benpointer]

Hi, I have just moved over to using CumulusMX on my iMAC following many years of using an old Windows XP laptop (the laptop finally gave up the ghost last week!)

Anyway CumulusMX is working ok on my iMAC but I currently have to launch it manually. I can write a script for launching it at startup but is there anyway I can do that and not have to put in my password each time it launches?

The script I am using is:

#!/bin/bash
sudo mono CumulusMX.exe -lang en-GB

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Can't you set up your iMac to automatically log in to an account?

Thanks for the suggestion, and apologies for the delay in responding...

I don't think automatically logging into my account would help because currently I am already logged into the account when I manually run the "sudo mono CumulusMX.exe -lang en-GB" command but it still asks for a password.

I'm no expert but i think you can either edit your sudoers file via visudo, or use sudo -s with a password file ?

Thanks for the suggestion, I will take a look at that... but I have been temporarily side-tracked by my Aercus weather station going pear-shaped and the need to get (yet another!) new station. I feel it might be time for a Davis if I can scrape together the funds
