I tried reseting permissions but that didn't work. I am also the administrator on the computer and i am running os 10.6. The weird thing is it just started doing this recently. i haven't used terminal for a month so something must have happened i'm not aware of. As of right now it won't let me execute any of the programs i try to run through it. If anyone knows whats wrong pleas help me out.
Assuming your startup.txt is an AppleScript, you will need to launch it using:
osascript startup.txt
If it is a shell script, you need to launch it using:
. startup.txt
(Or set it to have executable permission using 'chmod +x startup.txt' once, then use './startup.txt' as you were.)
hope this helps,
