Well, up until this last update is BBEdit, when a script was run while in BBEdit, the Unix log file would automatically come to the fore front. Now it stays hidden.
A gentleman on the BBEdit mail list gave an osasctipt that one can execute from within the script bring executed. But sometimes I run from terminal session, so don’t want to tell BBEdit to do something is not required. Hence where am I and from that know what to do... Thoughts??? ;) WagsWorld World of Perl Hebrews 4:15 Ph D:(408)914-1341 Ph M:(408)761-7391 On Nov 21, 2020, 18:09 -0800, Uri Guttman <u...@stemsystems.com>, wrote: > On 11/21/20 7:42 PM, wagsworld48 via beginners wrote: > > It was a good idea, but that gives me zsh which is what in this case > > BBEdit uses to execute the script.
