macOS Help with some Unix lines

[expede]

Hi!

This is what I want:

1 Would like to get this line executed "sudo bless -device /dev/disk5s2 -mount /Volumes/BOOTCAMP -setBoot -nextonly"

2 But what do I need to ad to make the script automaticly execute my "password"

3 What shall I ad to make the osx reboot direct after the password?

Then I can save it in a file and do a "chmod 700" to make it executable. I what to just double-click on the file. I do not know Unix. I am just a user.

Best regads

Just as a security notice, you may not want to script this. The reason being that if you do, your password will show up in your bash history as plaintext. A workaround would be to delete the last line of your bash history after executing it. Check this out here for examples on how to do that in your script.
