Hi Oakman,
in place of this: '<kill script>' Put this: You can safely eliminate the following unnecessary code, as well: cancel button "Cancel" The "Cancel" button is by definition the default cancel button. You'd specify this only if using a different button name, like this:
Hi again,
My bad! Forget what I posted (above) without actually testing it.
Use this instead (all in one line, not three, of course):
osascript -e 'tell application id \"com.apple.systemevents\"' -e 'try' -e 'display dialog \"Do you want to continue?\" buttons {\"Cancel\", \"OK\"}' -e 'on error number -128' -e 'return \"aborted\"' -e 'end try' -e 'return \"continued\"' -e 'end tell'
This will not only let the user exit, but allows feedback to your script, if desired.
Stan C.
