Re: Launching a UNIX program on Mac OSX

[Cole Tierney]

We have a Director app that we want to use to launch a UNIX program 
under OSX using the BuddyAPI baRun program, but it doesn't seem to 
work.
I don't believe buddy can launch that type of program. But you may be 
able to use an apple event:

on exec(cmd)
   osas = new(xtra "zScript")
   setScriptText(osas, "do shell script" &&QUOTE&cmd&QUOTE)
   run(osas)
   return getresult (osas)
end
