I created a very basic applescript application that only has to run a shell
command and then quit. Here's the code:
on run
do shell script "/Volumes/lester/Development/Webkit/WebKitTools/
Scripts/run-safari &"
quit
end run
The problem is that after Safari launches, the script applet doesn't quit. It
hangs and I have to force quit it.
I think this is it... Look at this line from one of my scripts
set x to "/scripts/stopmysql > /dev/null 2>&1&"
The stuff at the end insures that the "do shell script" that comes next
returns immediately, so my script can quit (or, in this case, poll the
mysql process to see if it's quit yet).
This is explained in "TN2065-do shell script.pdf" on the apple dev web
site (sorry, I downloaded my copy ages ago).
