Hi there, first of all thanks to Manickaraja who reminded me to work again on the Intermapper vs iTerm stuff. His tip worked but not always. The Launcher only works if iTerm is totally closed or has at least one window open because he uses 'tell the last terminal' applescript command. If iTerm has no window opened it fails. If iTerm has to be started by the script it may work if you set up iTerm to always open one window at startup.
My tip is to change the Launcher script this way: osascript -e 'tell application "iTerm"' -e 'activate' -e 'set myterm to (make new terminal)' -e 'tell myterm' -e 'launch session "Default Session"' -e 'tell the last session' -e 'set background color to "black"' -e 'set foreground color to "green"' -e 'write text " You can omit the read marked stuff or change it to fit your preferences Greetings from Germany Jürgen Am 22.09.2010 um 17:22 schrieb Manickaraja Arumugam: > Thanks a ton Andrey. > > I have been using putty long back and every time while closing the device > window I have close the dos-prompt windows manually. > > > Regards > Manickaraja Arumugam > A R I C E N T > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: InterMapper-Talk@list.dartware.com > [mailto:intermapper-t...@list.dartware.com] On Behalf Of > andrey.khomya...@mcphs.edu > Sent: Thursday, September 02, 2010 5:09 AM > To: InterMapper-Talk@list.dartware.com > Subject: [IM-Talk] InterMapper Remote + iTerm > > I wanted to send this out merely as a documentation to what I've done so next > time I need it I don't have to waste an hour.
