ScriptGUI Description

ScriptGUI - Run your shell scripts from the Finder with a double click ScriptGUI lets you run shell scripts from the finder. If you know what #!/bin/sh means, you need ScriptGUI!Long-time UNIX users have been frustrated by the fact that there's no simple way to make a double-clickable shell script. The UNIX shell has forever had the ability to turn a shell script into an executable simply by setting the "execute" bit. But until now there has been no easy way to carry this behavior over to the Finder.With Script GUI, you will be able to simply double-click your favorite shell and Perl script and it will run gracefully within a window. And with the handy tabs, you can view (and edit!) the script itself as well. Cool, no? ScriptletsWhen you're ready to share your scripts, ScriptGUI lets you wrap up your scripts in neat little packages called Scriptlets that you can share freely with your friends. Scriptlets are self-contained applications that run by themselves - your friends don't even need ScriptGUI to use them.Get Me Going, Quickly!It's simple. If you have Perl scripts ending in .pl, or shell scripts ending in .sh, simply installing ScriptGUI will make those script double-clickable. Couldn't be easier. For any others, you can rename them to end with with .sgui (for ScriptGUI), or .pl or .sh.If you'd rather not rename your scripts, that's fine too. You can make them open in ScriptGUI using the Finder's "Show Info" box. Select "Show Info" from the File menu, select "Application" from the popup, and make ScriptGUI the "specific application" to launch your script.
