Very nice. Thanks for letting me know about it. I've added a note to my post linking to your app.

I've put together an app that allows you to start/stop MAMP's Apache and MySQL without the password request, even on port 80. It stores the password in Keychain, so you only need to enter it once. It has a nice icon too!

It appears that this issue has been resolved in Snow Leopard.

Other people have reported having the same issue. 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.

I've not tested this, but I think this would work:

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

I have that same issue with the automator appearing to run forever, although I'm not sure that it actually is doing anything. I just close it out if it starts to bug me. I'd love to hear if you figure out a solution for that.

Thanks Josh – DUH!

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!

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