msf > use post/osx/gather/enum_airport
msf post(enum_airport) > show options
... show and set options ...
msf post(enum_airport) > set SESSION session-id
msf post(enum_airport) > exploit
If you wish to run the post against all sessions from framework, here is how:

framework.sessions.each_pair do |sid, session|
run_single("use post/osx/gather/enum_airport")
run_single("set SESSION #{sid}")
run_single("run")
end
2 - At the msf prompt, execute the above resource script:
msf > resource path-to-resource-script
