Hi all,Is it possible to run a tell command without the app launching, or at least not opening fully? For instance, say i made a service that ran a script. This script popped up a basic text input box, then took that input and added it to a Reminders list. I don't normally have Reminders open - I manage that on my phone - but I would like to be able to jot down a reminder when I'm using the mac. However, especially on my machine, apps can take a bit to launch, and I'm one who doesn't keep things open in the background if I'll hardly ever use them. So, I'd like this script to add the reminder without the full Reminders app launching and then sticking around. If nothing else, is there a way to get success/failure messages from Reminders, then tell the app to close on success? Some sort of background system would be best, but short of that, a way to "clean up" as the script goes would be better than nothing. To be clear, this isn't just for Reminders, that's just the first app I thought of. Thanks!
