osascript and dialogs


  • Subject: osascript and dialogs
  • From: matt neuburg <email@hidden>

The following puts the computer into a bizarre state:

Yes, Matt? cat > textfile
display dialog "Hello, world!"
[^D]
Yes, Matt? osacompile -o compiledfile textfile
Yes, Matt? osascript compiledfile

The dialog appears, but refuses to let me click on it. Appending "&"
doesn't help - in fact, it makes it worse, since there's now absolutely no
way to get rid of the dialog short of killing osascript. What's the
problem here? Thx - m.
