folder actions - shell scripts..


  • Subject: folder actions - shell scripts..

I have a shell script that I would like to run from a folder action script.

Basically i have a hot folder, that moves files to another drive when they are dropped in there. It occasionally calls on the finder for some things which I also want to avoid by using a shell script.

so my applescript script in the folder actions will basically just say

on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving these_items
do shell script "/path/to/my/script.sh"
end adding folder items to


What I would REALLY like to do is have the script run, without folder actions waiting until the shell script is finished.

I know this kind of question has been asked before... But don't remember the answer ;)

thanks

Wayne
