Running a couple of scripts in a row is no problem for Bash, but running them in parallel is more tricky. It gets even more ridiculous when on script needs to reach a certain state before another can start. This post illustrates how I solved this work using AppleScript.

Shell scripts (often referred to bash scripting, even though it's not necessarily bash) are a great way to automate certain things. Every now and then those scripts have to be run with privileges - in order to, say, register a network interface alias or bind a low-port.
