# Resize App Windows With AppleScript
I showed in a [previous
TIL](run-applescript-commands-inline-in-the-terminal.md) how we can run
AppleScript commands inline from the terminal. Here is an inline command
for positioning and resizing your iTerm2 window.
```bash
osascript -e 'tell application "iTerm2"
set the bounds of the first window to {50, 50, 1280, 720}
end tell'
```
The first two values tell the command the `x` and `y` coordinates of where
to position the upper left corner of the window relative to the upper left
corner of your screen. The next two values are the `width` and `height` that
the window should be resized to.
