Possibly with some saved-command and proxy object trickery, but I'm
not sure how those work.
But it should be possible with applescript, but for one problem. A
script like:
on open theApp
tell application theApp to launch
end open
should work for open in background, and adding
tell application "System Events" to set visible of process theApp to
false
should allow hiding, but AppleScript is expecting the LaunchServices
name of the app, there, not its path. So if any AppleScript wizards
know how to convert a path to a name (it won't be reliable to just do
a "get POSIX path" and run it through a path-and-extension-stripping
regex), this should be able to work. It _does_ work if I take out "on
open" and replace theApp with "iChat," so I know the concept is sound,
but I don't know how to do the conversion.
