Sure, but this then rounds back to the question: how do you run the ASP in
the command line only, so that people aren't spooked by an app launching in
the dock and then taking ages to do anything?
I'm wondering if this is due to the default shell being changed, or
something in /sbin/AppleSystemProfiler being altered.
