When I tried to take a picture of this dialog, it kept jumping behind other windows I had open on my desktop.In fact, it can easily get hidden behind other windows. When first created, the dialog does not jump to the foreground and interrupt my work.I don’t understand this yet, but here are two symptoms I see: Third, the AppleScript dialog seems to be created as some sort of “background” dialog.
Therefore, I will probably have to run this with the usual Unix nohup and & syntax, and also redirect that error output. This is actually a very desirable feature for an interactive Unix shell script, but for my purposes, I want to run this from a background Unix process being run through cron (or something like cron), and I don’t want my shell script to come to a complete stop. Second, this AppleScript Unix shell command waits for the user to click one of the buttons. "/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax" declares no loadable handlers. No matching architecture in universal wrapper Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Unit Types: Unit Types.osax/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Unit Types:ĭlopen(/Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe Unit Types.osax/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Unit Types, 09:39:30.091 osascript Error loading /Library/ScriptingAdditions/Adobe First, there is a long error message in the output from this AppleScript/osascript command: There are several problems with this approach I haven’t worked out yet. In short, osascript lets you “execute AppleScripts and other OSA language scripts.” (See the "osascript" man page on Apple's website for more details.) AppleScript dialog from the Unix shell - known problems

When you run this command from the Mac OS X Unix shell, it displays a dialog with the text “Yada yada yada,” as shown in this figure: Osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to display dialog "Yada yada yada"' This “Unix shell and AppleScript” tip is still baking in the oven - meaning I haven’t tested it much, and it has known (and unknown) side effects - but, if you want to run an AppleScript command from the Mac Unix shell (either a Bash shell command in the MacOS Terminal, or as a cron/crontab job) on MacOS, such as having the ability to display a dialog from a Unix shell script or other bash shell command, you can run the osascript command like this from your Unix command line: Mac Unix shell + AppleScript FAQ: How can I display a dialog with AppleScript from the Unix command line shell? (Either from a command line shell like bash through the MacOS Terminal, or from a shell crontab job.) AppleScript from the Mac Unix shell (using osascript)
