The applescript I've built allows me to disable (within OS 10.6) the automatic login within security of system preferences. I'd like to covert this script into bash to run with a different utility. Below is an example of what I've been able to get the applescript to do:

-- Enabling “Disable automatic login” checkbox.


set uiScript to "click checkbox \"Disable automatic login\" of group 1 of tab group 1 of window \"Security\" of application process \"System Preferences\""

run script "tell application \"System Events\"
" & uiScript & "
end tell"
