To recap, on older Mac OSes (pre-Lion) I used witango_cmd (by Robert Garcia of 
Big Head) as the link between Witango/Terascript and Imagemagick. I mostly use 
Imagemagick to resize uploaded images to suitable sizes, but will shortly be 
using it to create images for CAPTCHA.

The process is fairly straightforward. I define a var called 'appPath' and 
assign it the value of witango_cmdX:

<@assign local$appPath "/file/path/to/witango_cmdX">

I then assign the command line to a var 'cmd':

<@assign local$cmd '/opt/local/bin/convert "/file/path/to/source/file.jpg" 
-resize 200x200\> "/file/path/to/target/file.jpg"'>

I then use the Command Line action to send these to witango_cmdX:

Command: @@local$appPath

Environment Variable:
CMD     @@local$cmd

Now that witango_cmdX no longer runs in OSX Lion I am a bit stuck. Someone 
suggested using a BASH script in place of witango_cmdX. I tried writing the 
following to a text file:

#!/bin/sh
# resizeimage.sh -- shell script to resize image
/opt/local/bin/convert $source $cmd $target

And calling it with the Command Line action with the three Environment 
Variables:

source  /file/path/to/source/file.jpg
cmd             -resize 200x200\>
target  /file/path/to/target/file.jpg

It doesn't work but without some sort of console or debug report I can't seem 
to see what I have wrong.

Can anyone help with this, or point me in a direction where I can see what is 
going on when I run this TAF?
