How can I create a stand alone APP to run a terminal command I have the requirement to manually run the OSX maintenance scripts in OSX (Lion / Mountain Lion). I would like to create a completely stand alone application that would achieve the following goals:


run the terminal command : sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
Be executable via Finder
Be standalone (a single file is all that is needed to execute the process so that a non technically inclined user may simple double click to run said command)
Be portable (copy a single file to a USB flash drive or other portable media)
Be able to be run on Mac's running OSX Lion or Mountain Lion


I do not necessarily need to see the results upon completion of execution as I can always go to /var/log directory to find out but if someone knows of a way to eliminate this extra step all the better.

I found this response but it does not meet all the requirements. I am not a coder / programmer but I can (and I am willing) to follow straightforward instructions in order to achieve my goals.
Create an Automator application that calls up an AppleScript. You will need to enter administrative credentials each time still, as I'm sure the password could be different on each system you use.
