Hello all,
I ported my little X11 application from linux to osX a while ago and also
included a short applescript file in order to start it up in a "Mac" way.
That same applescript did run fine with Jaguar and Panther, but fails
completely with Tiger:
Here is the snipplet in question:
tell application "X11"
activate
set results to do shell script "cd ~;
DISPLAY=:0.0; export DISPLAY; /usr/local/bin/xcdroast -o
> /dev/null 2>&1 &"
end tell
When I run this in the script editor, then at first X11 is getting
started. (Also the initial xterm pops up and works fine.)
But now the script-editor is frozen and will not accept any more input,
until I quit X11. Then it will get applescript timeout eventually.
My program never gets started up - The same commands typed within
Terminal do work fine.
Any idea what changed with Tiger so that method is no longer working?
Thanks,
Thomas
