You can do it this way with Rev 2:

 

on mouseUp

  set the hideConsoleWindows to true

  get shell("open " & quote & "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/PPPoE.menu" & quote)

end mouseUp

 

Works for me in 10.2.4,

Subject: Way to put PPPoE status in menubar?

I'm trying to figure out how to get Revolution to put the PPPoE status in the menubar in Mac OS X.  (Basically mimicing what happens if the user were to check the "show PPP status in menubar" checkbox in the networking pane).

After digging around in the web for a bit, I read that this will do the trick in the terminal window:

/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/PPPoE.menu

However, when I go into the "Library" folder, I don't see this CoreServices directory.  I'm assuming if I can get this working in terminal, then there's a way to get AppleScript to make a call to the terminal from Revolution to execute the command.  Anyone have an idea of what this syntax might look like?
