In the Shortcuts:Quickeys:Wait sub-menu, you have several choices - Wait for: Application; Button; Date & Time; Menu; User and Window.

I would love to see one more: Wait for Text in Terminal.

Recently, a StartupItem that's been working for me for a few years just stopped working (after upgrading to OS X 10.4.#). I tried turning it into a launchd item with no success. After 15-20 various methods, I ended up using QK3.1 and designed a shortcut that would accomplish opening the Terminal; PAUSE; enter text "su"; PAUSE; enter my admin password; PAUSE;etcetera... I think you get the idea.

All of the "pause" commands in the shortcut have short times - .3 to.5 seconds each. After running the Terminal commands "manually" and taking note of the next prompt-line/output text, I believe that any shortcut would gain a flow/speed benefit by NOT using trial & error PAUSEs, but instead using a Wait for Text in Terminal sub-shortcut.

And, BTW, why can't QK Terminal commands be run as root? The shortcut I use for my above problem works after switching from "user" to "root" USING QK!

One more thing. How about being able to run a terminal command IN THE BACKGROUND and/or "silently."

Recommendation; Beg, borrow, steal or even buy it (mostly, you should buy it!). It's a great time/wrist-saver.
