Worth noting that, for a _trigger,_ you don't need to dip into AppleScript 
if all you want to do is run a shell script. You can just type `open -g 
/Applications/Safari.app/ /Applications/Mail.app/ 
/Applications/iTunes.app/` in pane 1 and use the "Run Command in Shell" 
action. This ought to be a lot faster.

Also, if you want to open an application by name only, like you can in 
AppleScript, `open` can do that too: `open -a "Name-of-App"`, i.e. `open -a 
"Safari"`.
