I know I can execute a shell script from within the finder by appending .command, but this opens the terminal. Is there any way to execute a shell script without opening the terminal? Or if not, how would I do this in AppleScript?

Code:
#!/bin/sh

cp -f /Volumes/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ 4\ Music\ Library ~/Music/iTunes/
cp -f /Volumes/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music\ Library.xml ~/Music/iTunes/

open -a /Applications/iTunes.app

Thanks!

I'd try Platypus. It will turn any shell script into a stand-alone double-clickable OS X application.

probably the easiest thing for you is to use the Script Menu (/Applications/AppleScript/Install Script Menu)

It runs shell scripts as well as applescripts - just drop the scripts into ~/Library/Scripts

If you do want to use applescript then there is a command "run shell script"

so, you could do something like this:

Code:
set myScript to "cp -f /Volumes/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ 4\ Music\ Library ~/Music/iTunes/
cp -f /Volumes/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music\ Library.xml ~/Music/iTunes/"

do shell script myScript
tell app "itunes" to activate

Anytime.

There's also a filename extension that you can give the script, but I forget what it is. Does anyone else here remember? .termcmd or something like that?

Read the thread, it's in the first post.
