I have a stay open script application that I want to run from inside
another application's package. I cannot seem to get the idle handler
to execute, only the run handler.
do shell script "open " & path/to/scriptapp
only causes the run handler to execute, and then the script
application exits. The same goes for
do shell script path/to/scriptapp
I was sure the latter would work, because in Terminal, if I type
path/to/scriptapp
at the prompt, the test script application runs as desired, with the
idle handler executing.
Note that colon style file paths don't work inside packages, so do
shell script seems to be my only option.
Any help or information greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Don
