Hi Doug,
Thanks for the info and feedback but I have to embed this
into the AS as a property for portability. I can't distribute it
and set it up for use easily enough as a shell script laying
loose. This will work some way somehow I must persist.
If it were for my own use without need of portability and
simple set up I would gladly follow your advice.
If the script asks for its arguments the same way the
terminal would if command was called with no arguments
given "=returns (test_file log_file)" which is simply saying
"what file should I execute and where shall I report to"
AND the paths are valid paths using a variable to give those
arguments, I must be very very close to pulling this off.
Do you have any other ideas as to what is going wrong
here or how to get this thing to work. It needs to work
without any shell tweaking or special hacking etc. It will
be widely distributed to a couple of hundred folks with
No Command Line or unix experience, thus, the need of
embedding into an applescript. Any Ideas.
