Hey all,

Everytime when i log into my account in Mac in my office, i have to open Terminal and type, "Shaket or Shake -gui 1" then it will run Shake 3 with Tremor Interface.. I get so pissed off..

Why can't i create an icon and double click that icon, it will automatically run the shake with Tremor interface?!! Has anyone had an idea how to make an icon shortcut with it?
I have tried AppleScript but i don't know how to insert a command then... sigh!!

HELP ME , please !

You can make a terminal command file. Just make a text file with the command in it. Save it as something.command and make it executable.

Or you can make an AppleScript with a do shell command.

Code:
do shell script "enter command here"

Just wondering why you are useing the tremor interface. Thoughts on why you think its a better way to work with shake. Just wondering, for my own knowledge. Thanks

That is the command. Whatever you are currently entering at the Terminal is what you put in the .command file or AppleScript.

So if "shaket" is the command, then that is all you put in the .command file. For the AppleScript enter...

Code:
do shell script "shaket"
