Hello Phil,

You could have a look at:

	https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/content/technotes/tn2065/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS10003093-CH1-SECTION5

BTW, the whole document is worth reading. ;-)


> 2. Am I right in thinking both ignoring responses and with timeout are inapplicable to do shell script commands?

Yes, those statements only apply to commands sent to applications.

HTH,
Axel
