Trying to make double clickable Terminal Shell Script - total Novice here

Short version: How do I make a text file of terminal commands executable?
Backgound: I am running OS 10.4.11 and the shell that runs under terminal is Bash. I know almost nothing about Unix and scripts and such, so don't assume anything when giving instructions.
Long Version: I have a terminal program I found called jhead where my only need for it is its ability to change the exif's "orientation" tag in photos. I already figured out how to get jhead into my /usr/bin directory so it is executable from any directory in Terminal.
So here is the command I run in terminal simply to check the orientation tag of all the photos in my photo work directory:
jhead -v ~/Desktop/temp\ Photos/*.jpg | grep -i orien
All it does is reads the exif info for the photos but filtered to only show the orientation tag. These photos are in the folder "temp Photos" on my desktop. So it works fine.
I read that to make a simple terminal shell script you can make a simple text document, add the extension .command and now you can double click it and it will run any commands in Terminal. I used text edit to create a plain text blank file in that folder. I then used pico in terminal to put the command into the file and saved it.
The file has the right icon, but when I double click it I get this error:
The .command file ‘/Users/Dad/Desktop/temp Photos/orientation_normal.command’ could not open. Most likely it is not executable.
and then when I ok out of that error box, Terminal opens and that is about it.
Assistance?
Thanks,
Patrick
p.s. I want to add a couple more lines to the script so the script will first check the status of all files, change them all, then recheck them. I can then eye ball the terminal window and make sure everything looks correct. But for now I am starting with just the single command to first prove I can make a double-clickable script.

D'oh. So easy. I had used that command on the program files itself, jhead, but it never even occurred to me to use it on the .command text file.
I got the script working and fleshed it out with the other commands and now it does all the fixing of all the photos in the folder with one double-click. Super!
Thanks!
Patrick

The following should give you a head start:
Create the following file i.e. scott_export.sh
#!/bin/bash

mkdir -p $EXPIDR 2>/dev/null
sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOF
connect / as sysdba
set pages 0 feed off
create or replace directory datapump as $EXPDIR4SQL;
grant read, write on directory datapump to scott;
exit
EOF

directory=datapump dumpfile=$DUMPFILE logfile=$LOGFILE
gzip $EXPDIR/$DUMPFILE >> $EXPDIR/$LOGFILE
cat $EXPDIR/$LOGFILE | mailx -s "$LOGFILE" $MAILADR
# ENDGive execute privileges:
$ chmod 750 scott_export.sh
The above script should also work as a cron job.

Trying to make changes in Terminal but can't get past the password request

I am trying to run Piano Wizard from a managed accout but I get this: Data.pwf missing
I found these FIX instructions on their web site but I can't get it to work....
METHOD1: If you know the password of the owner account of the machine. Please follow only these instructions. The changes outlined below will modify only the Piano Wizard files.
Terminal: (These instructions are for a standard install with the game installed to Applications) refers to the user account that owns the machine – you will have to know the name of this admin user (i.e. bob)
1. Launch Terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal)
2. "cd /Applications"
3. "su "
4. enter the password and hit enter
5. "chmod -R 755 Piano Wizard.app/"
We are now done - close Terminal by hit COMMAND-Q (Apple-Q) That's it - launch Piano Wizard
When I launch Terminal I get - "computer name":~"admin name"$, I follow steps 1-3 not problem...
I get to step #4, put in my password then I get this "su: Sorry"
Please help, I only know of one password...is there another one somewhere?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Run the following command:
chmod -R 755 Piano\ Wizard.app
Spaces and other special characters need to be escaped when entering commands into the Terminal; this can be done by putting a backslash in front of them, or enclosing some or all of the string in quote marks:
chmod -R 755 'Piano Wizard.app'

Run a shell script at login?

I would like to run a simple shell script each time a user logs in. Currently, I have it wrapped in an Automator executable that is included in "Login Items", but figured there must be a more elegant way? Thanks.
More info:
The problem I'm trying to solve is that of file permissions when sharing one iTunes and one iPhoto library between multiple users on one computer. The libraries are located in /Users/Shared and the apps were pointed to the relocated libraries by holding down 'Option' on startup. The problem is that work done by each user in the iTunes or iPhoto library inherits the default permission settings of that user, making any new additions to the libraries, read-only to the other users. I'm using `chmod` on login to fix it. Let me know if you know of a better way to address this. Thanks again.

I wrote a simple shell script that executes each time a user logs in (well, actually, each time I log in, coz' it's not really applicable to other users). It syncs my work and home addressbooks and iCal calendars to one another.
I named it "sync". Then I read somewhere that if you wanted to make it double-clickable (to launch it from the Finder), I appended a ".command" filename extension (so it's now named "sync.command"). I also did a chmod 755 to that file so that it had execute privileges. Depending on whether you give each user their own copy of this thing, or keep a single copy in, say, the /Users/Shared directory, you may have to play around with chmod. Whatever, just so long as the user that has just logged in has execute permissions to the file, and to the entire path to the file, you should be good.
Then, in SysPrefs > Accounts > Login Items, I added that "sync.command" file to the list. So, really the only difference is I'm not wrapping mine inside an Automator script like you are.
I had tried adding it to ~/Library/LaunchAgents and make a launchd plist for it, that would kick it off at login. But I didn't get that to work. Don't know why. But just adding the double-clickable executable unix script to the Login Items list did the trick. Whether the plist has to hang out there with it, I don't know. I still have it there, though, in case I ever get motivated to figure out what's wrong with my launchd plist file. So, if just adding it to the Login Items list doesn't do it for you, you could try making a (functional?) launchd plist for it and plopping them both in ~/Library/LaunchAgents, too. That's how I am now, and, like I said, it launches at user login as that user's process (not as a root process like the above referenced article said how login hooks worked -- although, you may want it to run as root since you want this to work with multiple users...in which case, you might want to listen to Cole and not me...).

Please help me remove the last elements of shell script from my applescript

I read somewhere that running a shell script in an applescript was inefficient and created extra overhead, fine, so I am trying to take all of my shell script out of my applescript (this should fix issues with forward slashes in names as well...)
however I am stuck on these last two lines (I know they are probably trivial but I've been up waaaay too long now) so I was wondering if anyone would be awesome enough to show me how to convert the bash to applescript.
--does a recursive copy and rename
do shell script "cp -R " & (thePath as text) & " " & (theOtherPathWithFile as text)
--does a copy and rename, then a simple move
do shell script "cp " & (quoted form of (POSIX path of this_item as text)) & " " & (theNewPath as text) & "&& mv " & (theOtherPathWithFile as text) & " ~/Desktop"
Any and all help will be appreciated.

There isn't anything wrong with using shell scripts, especially since AppleScript is designed to do this very thing. There is some overhead when using do shell script, just as there is some overhead when using an application tell statement, so it just depends on what you are doing.
The performance of any particular script would also be up to whatever is acceptable to you (or your customers), and sometimes a shell script is the most efficient way to do something. Many of the system utilities are just GUI front-ends to a shell script, so they can't be all bad.
To do your file copy or move with the Finder, you will need to tell it to duplicate or move the item(s) (there is that pesky overhead again). Shell scripts use POSIX paths while the Finder uses colons as its path delimiter, so you will need to use the correct file path references - there is a decent article about that at Satimage. Once your file paths have been defined (or using something like choose file or choose folder)), your script would be something like:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
tell application "Finder"
duplicate source to destination
-- move source to destination
end tell
</pre>
See the Finder and *System Events* scripting dictionaries for more information about the ways they deal with files.

How to pass variables to shell script?

I have a shell script which uses the touch command to change the date of a file. To run the command on the command line the syntax is:
set-file-date.sh <file> <date>
I'm trying to run it from an automator workflow, so I'm prompted for the date, then the workflow iterates over the finder items, i.e., files, and changes the date of each files.
The problem is in the "Run Shell Script" action. The $@ is substituted with the file names selected in finder, so this will echo the file names:
for i in "$@"; do
echo "$i"
done
What I want to do is something like this:
for i in "$@"; do
set-file-date.sh <DATE VARIABLE> "$i"
done
But I can't prompt for the date value, and pass it to the script. I've tried using the "Get Value of Variable" and the "Ask For Text" actions. I can either get the file names from finder OR the text input in the "Ask for Text" action, but not both.
Is what I'm trying to do possible with a shell script?
-Thanks

This is standard AppleScript text concatenation...
set howManyWords to do shell script "wc -w /path/to/file | awk '{print $1}'"
do shell script "/usr/local/bin/growlnotify -t 'Corpus' -m '" & howManyWords & " words were added to the corpus.'"
in other words, just use the & to concatenate the parts of your text together.

Hi All,
I am facing problem when I am trying to run CONCSUB utility from shell script.The same works well when I try it from command line.The only prob I am facing from shell script is assigning values to temporary variables.

I tried my luck from some of the previous posts ({thread:id=2360776} ),but to vain
If anyone has any ideas,please suggest!!
Thanks in advance!!

Launchd won't send email via shell script

I'm trying to send an email via shell script. e.g. my shell script is something like this:
#!/bin/sh
echo testing | mail -s 'this is a test' [email protected]
My launchdaemon runs the script: /usr/local/scripts/testscript.sh
I know the script is working, because I added some debugging (I added a line: echo is this working and sure enough, "is this working" is showing up in the console) but the email part kicks off an error message about 30 seconds later: Stray process with PGID equal to this dead job: PID ### PPID 1 sendmail
The script works when I run it with a cron job. But why wouldn't it work as a launchd item? And why is it I'm only having problems with the email segment of my scripts? I've tried other scripts and they all seem to work fine.

There are no errors reported. I'm looking in /var/log/mail.log.

I am trying to use automator to make a simple app that when I open it, it comes up with a dialog box that asks for a link that you want to download. and it will download it for you using the curl -O shell script in Terminal. How would I do it?

I want this so I can just download anything I want by just having the link and I have made a few things with shell scripts in automator before, just never anything where i need to input a value into the shell script.

Terminal is trying to auto-execute a shell script

I can no longer use Terminal because every time I try to start it, it automatically runs a shell script I used to have on my desktop and then immediately says "[Process Completed]." I'm not sure how exactly I got it to do this... as far as I know all I did was execute the shell script by associating it with Terminal and double clicking it... but now I can't create a new shell without it automatically attempting to execute it. Please help!
Thanks,
Michael

nevermind... found this http://www.starglider.net/MacOS_X/Terminal-ExecutionString.html
Apparently I'm not the only one who's made this incredibly aggravating mistake

Trying to create a shell script to cut/paste files in finder. Help needed.

I'm trying to create an automator shell script to cut/paste. It'll function exactly like copy/paste. i.e. I'll just copy file/files with command+c like always, but then I'll create an automator which uses the "mv" terminal app to move the files which works exactly like cut paste.
I need some help since I don't know the syntax for creating shell scripts.
What I did so far is to do it in automator with Apple Script which goes like the following:
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
set theWindow to window 1
set thePath to quoted form of (POSIX path of (target of theWindow as string))
end tell
tell application "Terminal"
do script with command "mv \"" & input & "\"" & thePath in window 1
end tell
return input
end run
This gets the copied file path from clipboard before, as input, and then recognizes the active finder window as thePath so then executes the mv command for the input file to the thePath window.
It doesn't work as expected since it connects both file/window paths into a single path instead of leaving a space between them so the mv command can't recognize two separate paths.
What's the correct syntax for that line
do script with command "mv \"" & input & "\"" & thePath in window 1
to leave a space between input and thePath under the mv command?
Also this requires the terminal app to be open in the background.
After I get this to work I want to do the exact same thing using shell script within automator, so I won't need Terminal to be open all the time.
And the next step will be to cut/paste multiple files/folders but that should be easy to do once I get the hang of it.

Try using:
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "Finder"
set theWindow to window 1
set thePath to quoted form of (POSIX path of (target of theWindow as string))
end tell
do shell script "mv \"" & input & "\" " & thePath
return input
end run

Trying to run program off network location using GPO with Power shell script.

Hello All,
Not much of a script writer. I am giving it a shot. My issue is that I need to run a application update across our network and I am trying to do it with as little hands on as possible. So I was planning to push a GPO with a power shell script in it
to run the program with elevated privileges.
Little background:
We are running on a domain and end users do not have admin rights.
The application is stored on a share on our network that is open to all domain users.
The installer user name and password is a temp one and will only be valid for the 30 min window when everyone logs in at the beginning of the day.
So this is what I have so far.
$username = "USER"
$password = "PASSWORD"
$credentials = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList @($username,(ConvertTo-SecureString -String $password -AsPlainText -Force))
Start-Process PSQLv11Patch_Client_x86.msp -Credential ($credentials) -WorkingDirectory \\Server\Folder\Folder1\Folder2\filder3\PSQLv11sp3_x32\
But for some reason I keep getting :
Start-Process : This command cannot be run due to the error: The system cannot find the file specified.

Hi jdfmonkey,
Has anyone provided an answer to your original question? I am trying to use Start-Process to launch a process using another logged in user's credentials, and am not able to get it working:
$cred=Get-Credential
start-process Process.exe-WorkingDirectoryC:\Scripts-Credential$cred
I get the same error that you mentioned:
start-process : This command cannot be run due to the error: The system cannot find the file specified.
At C:\Scripts\Process.ps1:2 char:1
+ start-process Process.exe -WorkingDirectory C:\Scripts -Credential ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Start-Process], InvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperationException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartProcessCommand
When I leave off the credentials:
start-processProcess.exe-WorkingDirectoryC:\Scripts
It works correctly. Does anyone have a solution to make this work correctly?
Please ask your own question. You issue is nothing like the current thread. You clearly are using a user account that has no access to the folder. It is a permissions issue. It is not a scripting issue.
If you need further help please start your own question.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Double-clickable UNIX scripts?

I'm just migrating from Windows. When doing Ruby, it was nice to create a double-clickable batch file to start Mongrel & perform other tasks. Is it possible to make my UNIX script files double-clickable from the Finder? (I know you can do AppleScript. Can you make AppleScript run a UNIX script?)

Matt, thanks for responding.
I made the permissions change. I changed the file name to "mongrel.command". I can run it from the command line, but when I double-click, I get:
Last login: Sat Sep 22 16:13:55 on ttyp2
Welcome to Darwin!
/Users/dlamet/Moonlighting/PortlandBites/site/pdxbites/mongrel.command; exit
new-host-2:~ dlamet$ /Users/dlamet/Moonlighting/PortlandBites/site/pdxbites/mongrel.command; exit
/Users/dlamet/Moonlighting/PortlandBites/site/pdxbites/mongrel.command: line 1: script/server: No such file or directory
logout
When I run it from the Finder, does that change anything about the execution environment? The exec directory?

Terminal vs "do shell script" - different behaviour processing extended characters

Åäö won't be processed correctly by shell command "tr" when triggered by AppleScript.
Result from Terminal (running shell "sh"):
sh-3.2$ echo "ABCabcÅÄÖåäö" | tr "[:lower:]" "[:upper:]";
Result: ABCABCÅÄÖÅÄÖ
sh-3.2$ echo "ABCabcÅÄÖåäö" | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]";
Result: abcabcåäöåäö
Result when running AppleScript "do shell script" (natively using shell "sh"):
do shell script ("echo \"ABCabcÅÄÖåäö\" | tr \"[:lower:]\" \"[:upper:]\";")
Result: ABCABCÅÄÖåäö
do shell script ("echo \"ABCabcÅÄÖåäö\" | tr \"[:upper:]\" \"[:lower:]\";")
Result: abcabcÅÄÖåäö
I also tried a tip from another discussion - "/bin/echo" or "prinf" instead of just "echo".
- Same result.
Any suggestions how to overcome this?
