I wrote a bash script that uses the 'lynx -dump' command or 'wget
--spider' command (i've tried both) to request a web page and then the
script opens an application. The purpose is to simply request a
particular web page and open an application. When i run the script from
the command line everything works perfectly. But, when I package the
script with Platypus or even try an AppleScript 'do shell script'
command I receive an error that tells me that the lynx (or wget) command
can not be found.
This is a PATH problem: For lynx to be found when called as lynx, you
need the rest of its fulle name /sw/bin/lynx, namely /sw/bin to be
in the PATH environment variable. So either call it as /sw/bin/lynx or
make sure that the environment in which your command runs has a PATH
that contains /sw/bin. A standard way to get a decent environment in
which fink-installed commands will be found is to run .
/sw/bin/init.sh or, for csh type shells, source /sw/bin/init.csh in
your script before you call lynx.
