Thanks so much for that. It was quite easy to adapt it to my needs, even though I don't understand the Cocoa side of the code. A few questions: 1) I noticed that my code runs fine directly from the shell prompt, so I'm curious what the advantage of making a real .app is. I guess this would allow me to add the program as a "Startup Item". (Or can one run any command as a Startup Item?) 2) It is easy to change the colour of the title text that appears in the menu bar? 3) Is it easy to generate a beep of some sort? I plan to look over some of the PyObjC documentation and examples, and I apologize if some of this is answered there. Thanks again for pointing out your code to me, as it is almost exactly what I was looking for!
