Friends
I have a lengthy do shell script operation to perform at the end of my script, and I don’t want the spinning beach ball while it waits. There’s also the worry that the script might timeout while it waits
Two questions, in order of importance:
1. Is there a way to to execute a lengthy do shell script operation and NOT have the editor spin the beachball at the user while it runs?
2. Am I right in thinking both ignoring responses and with timeout are inapplicable to do shell script commands?
With regard to ignoring responses, ASLG says:
Results and error messages from AppleScript commands, scripting additions, and expressions are not affected by the application responses attribute.
And of ‘with timeout’:
A with timeout statement applies only to commands sent to application objects, not to commands sent to the application that is running the script.
TIA
