Script server as faceless background application?


  • Subject: Script server as faceless background application?
  • From: Alex Robinson <email@hidden>

Under OSX, apps that use the package structure can be made faceless (and
therefore not show up in the list of running apps) by adding the following
to the relevant info.plist:
<key>LSUIElement</key>
<string>1</string>

What I'd like to know is if there is any way of making an applescript
application (eg. one that stays open as a script server) an FBA.



(Under OS9 there are 2 utils, Script FBA and Script Hider, which with a
little ResEdit hackery allow script applications to be FBAs. But as they
rely on/create extensions they're no go for OSX)
