Automator in OSX

I'm using dual boot system in OSX, and I want to set up automator to automate the five steps that it takes to switch from one startup disk to another. I've got a routine working that gets me to the "Startup Disk" preference pane, however, I'd also like for it to handle the following:

- selecting the proper startup disk

- Hitting the "restart" button

- hitting the restart confirmation button

I'm a real bonehead when it comes to stuff like this, so any help is appreciated. I'd also welcome any completed Automator files that somebody has done this with.

Hey Patrick,

what I would do is write a script with Applescript. I can help you if you need just need to look up some stuff.

Thanks Fum! That's exactly what I need. Works great, I just need to figure out how to edit it so that it doesn't require an admin password every time I use it... :?
