Is it known that someone can place a perl or a shell script in Apple script menu?
I sure didn't know it and it sounds useful. Steve Roy's link doesn't say much about it though.
Does the script observe the #! line in an executable? What if the source is compiled C? Is the current selection passed as an argument?
Does it use an intermediate shell? If so which one? The default for the login user?
Does the file you add have to have its executable bit set?
Can you put an alias to a script in the script menu folder? How about a UNIX link?
When BBEdit is running I have a menu that looks strangely like the icon for Script Menu except that it's not black-filled. What is the difference?
Should AppleScripts destined for the scripts menu be saved as compiled scripts or as applications?
When I open the scripts folder I see only some AIM things and the folder actions I put there. How do I get rid of all the other things above that just get in my way? Is there another folder somewhere that is system-wide?
Does someone have a URL for serious documentation?
