AppleScript assistance for automation of bash/iTerm?

Carla Hufstedler | Jul 31 2007

Quote:
iTerm also supports autolaunching of an Applescript on startup. On startup, iTerm looks for an Applescript called "AutoLaunch.scpt" under ~/Library/Application Support/iTerm. If it is found, the AutoLauch.scpt is launched and executed. This feature can be used to launch multiple sessions in defined windows and tabs when iTerm starts up.
(http://iterm.sourceforge.net/scripting.shtml)

Oooooh, right? :)

What I want to do is use that feature so that I can launch iTerm and enter the sudo bash command, followed by the necessary RETURN and my password. But I'm more than lousy at AppleScript writing. I know this one's a simple task, but I'm having trouble wrapping my (distracted) head around it. Can anyone help, please?

    Cranking

    Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

    This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

    Scared Shitless

    Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

    This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
