| All-
I've found that my methods for doing user interaction from shell scripts with AppleScripts (that is, /usr/bin/osascript from with a bash script) in 10.5 don't work with 10.4. That method is to use a wrapper applescript to launch our applescripts via AppleScript Runner:
tell application "AppleScript Runner" do script path_to_applescript_file_passed_to_this_script
end tell
However, of course, there is no "AppleScript Runner" in 10.4. Nor have I found that "System Events" works in both OSes. So my question is, is there a cross-os way to do user interaction osascript calls from bash?
Google offers multiple examples but the question of a script that works across OSes doesn't easily come up. Any info (even if repetitive of google) would be much appreciated because this is a very time sensitive issue for us.
Thanks, aaron wyatt |
