Thanks Troy,
The CD was a problem but not entirely, some of my close but not perfect
scripts did not contain the cdTruBlueEnvironment; statement. It's amazing
how you look at something a thousand times and never see something until
someone points it out.
TruBlueEnvironment is inside of the contents of Classic Startup.app when
launching Classic in this manner via the Applescript it opens Classic
silently no windows at all, well with the exception of the Terminal window.
That's what I was trying to avoid is the window thing, either by terminal or
by the app itself. Here is another try, but I'm getting the same result
from the terminal Bad Command
#!/usr/bin/perl
cd '/System/Library/CoreServices/ClassicStartup.app/Contents/Resources/';./
TruBlueEnvironment;exit
Should I be saving this script as an executable or make it a Terminal
command?
Thanks
Chuck

Hi Chuck,
Try this:
---
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $status = `open -a /System/Library/CoreServices/Classic Startup.app`;
---
I don't know what this means, though:
../cdTruBlueEnvironment;
Are you trying to cd into that dir?
Cheers,
Troy
This Perl newbie needs a little advanced help. I'm trying a new
Login Hook to start classic, I made the Perl script out of an
Applescript. However, and probably not surprising to you, it did not
work.
It does work in the Applescript but I would prefer to make Perl for use
in a hook. Here is the Applescript
property appPath : /System/Library/CoreServices/Classic
Startup.app/Contents/Resources/
property appName : TruBlueEnvironment
tell application Terminal
do script with command cd ' appPath ';./ appName ;exit
delay 6
end tell
#
After doing some debugging this is what I thought the Perl script
should look like.
#!/usr/bin/perl
/System/Library/CoreServices/Classic
Startup.app/Contents/Resources/';./cdTruBlueEnvironment;
I made sure it was executable using chmod +X but each time I test it I
get a bad command. What did I miss
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!
