Greetings: I'm new to shell scripting, and have run into a problem with an early effort. The script is very simple: it creates a file in one location, writes information to it, performs
ls -la ~/Documents, appends the result to the file, moves the file to a second location, appends information to the file, opens the file in BBEdit, sleeps 10 seconds, then closes the file. That's the desired result. I can do everything except close the file once it's open in BBEdit. What's the solution? Is it using kill? If so, how do I find the PID for the file while it's open in BBEdit? Here are the final lines of the script: open -a /Applications/BBEDit.app $LOC2/$FILE sleep 10 kill $FILE If this is the wrong place to ask these questions, please suggest other venues. Thanks for any help you give. Regards, Marc -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
