The best way to start out with script response is to create a simple shell script. Whatever you use should be runnable from the command line. That is, you should be able to type the Command Path from the response into a Terminal window and have something happen. Most people use shell script or ruby or some other scripting language. You can use AppleScript, but avoid all commands that require/display a UI. They may work in some contexts, but it will not work in general. The reasons have nothing to do with AppleScript per se, this restriction applies to any method of launching a GUI app. In the demo with ruby-on-rails, what actually happens is is there is a subscription that triggers a script response to run a ruby script which adds a record into the database that is behind the rails application. That does the move from FCSVR to rails. For the return trip, the rails application creates an XML file in a particular directory. FCVSR has a watcher with a ReadXML response that brings the information from the XML back in to FCSVR. There is no externally available documentation on the XML schema of ReadXML/WriteXML at this time. Can anyone help me out with running external scripts as a Final Cut Server Response. Thus far I have tried Automator App, Applescript Script, Shell Command with no luck. When I try an Applescript compiled as an app however, I get a response. A startup screen loads asking if I wanted to run or quit the app, even though the app was specifically compiled not to have a start up screen. Additionally this window is dead in the water, it can't be clicked, and the only way out is to quite from the activity monitor, which described it as a powerPC process. I have seen some demos where ruby or ruby on rails is summoned, but with no insight as to how it was done. This email sent to evershen@apple.com This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
