I'm not sure why it doesn't exit as expected. If you figure it out, please let me know so I can share with my other readers. Other people have reported having the same issue.

I just close it out if it starts to bug me. I'd love to hear if you figure out a solution for that. I've not tested this, but I think this would work:

sudo /Applications/MAMP/bin/stopApache.sh
/Applications/MAMP/bin/stopMysql.sh
exit 0

Is there an equivalent method for shutting MAMP down (as it also requires the login prompt). BTW: I attempted to write an Automator action but although it DOES start MAMP, it also runs forever. I never use Automator so it is most likely something I am doing wrong - I did a net lookup on running shell scripts with Automator and they talk about writing Cocoa apps for it which seems an awful lot of bother for a one line script. Ho-hum! Thanks Josh – DUH!

It sounds like you need to change the permissions for that log file. That error suggests that the user you're running it under is unable to write to that file.

The MAMP login has been bugging me for the longest time! Thanks a trillion-fold. When I run your script (with the visudo override in place), MAMP does, indeed, start up but the terminal displays this message before starting the mysqld daemon: chown: /Applications/MAMP/logs/mysql_error_log: Operation not permitted Do you have any idea what it means? Is it important or can I just ignore it? What a lucky find! The MAMP login has been bugging me for the longest time! Thanks a trillion-fold.

Is there any way you can explain in a bit more details how to go about setting this up please? I'm afraid I'm never going to be able to get from your explanation, to writing the script, to linking it all up to Automator. This all goes a little over my head.
