I know that here on OS X 10.3 I can write a script
(say, bash or python), name it with a .command file
name suffix, double-click it from the Finder, and
it will execute in its own Terminal window.

Will this .command filename extension trick also work
with 10.1?

If not, is there an easy way to make a bash or python
script "double-clickable" in 10.1?

Darn. Turns out that, within the script, I need to
execute a chown command. Double-clicking it from
10.3 (I won't be at the 10.1 machine until tomorrow)
tells me that I don't have access to be running chown.

I could run the script from
the Terminal as "sudo ./my_script.command" and it
will work that way, but what I really need is to be
able to double-click it.

Maybe I need to learn what "Folder Actions" means,
though I don't even know if 10.1 supports those.

epilogue:

Yes, the .command suffix trick works with 10.1.

I didn't see bash on 10.1, just sh.

No, didn't need to mess with "Folder Actions" -- though
I think they are AppleScript-only.

Regarding sudo, I wrote one script that does all the
work calling chown, and then a 2nd script that calls
the first as: 'sudo /path/to/first/script.sh'. The
2nd script ends in .command, can be double-clicked
(via an alias on the user's desktop), and prompts
for a password. Nice.
