Hi, tried to install TW on dozens of Mac Pros. On the first run, the
TW will pop-up asking for the command line tools and admin's password.
I don't want to go into each computer to type it in (imagine doing
this for 1000000 computers). Is there a way this could be done from
command line (terminal)? Like just copy the "edit" command to /usr/
bin, but how to disable the first-run popup?

Thanks.

Sorry for the delayed answer, but maybe you can still use it.

After the 1st run dialog, these keys are written to the TextWrangler
preferences file:

<key>Services:FirstRunDialogVersion</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>Services:FirstRunOpenedManualVersion</key>
<integer>1</integer>

I'm not sure how you're deploying, but you could copy a configured
preferences file to each machine, or use the "defaults" tool to write
to the preference files.

If you're in a NetInfo style environment, I think you could just add
those keys to the Network domain preference file, but I'm a little
rusty on network management, so I'm not positive about that.
