applescriptmacos
I have the following applescript Spyder3.applescript :
on run
do shell script "/usr/local/miniconda3/bin/spyder3"
end run
I want to compile it to an Application, so I type this command :
$ sudo osacompile -o /Application/Spyder3.app Spyder3.applescript
but I get this an coreFoundationUnknownErr error :
osacompile: couldn't write to file /Application/Spyder3.app: coreFoundationUnknownErr (-4960).
Can you help me ?
AppleScript should let you do this by using with administrator privileges:
osascript -e 'do shell script "sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist" with administrator privileges'
This doesn't pass the password, but prompts for it with a standard OS X prompt:
You can use this in your Automator workflow in one of the two following ways:
To not get that error, you need to make myShellScript.sh executable.
In a Terminal, use the following command:
chmod u+x /path/to/file/myShellScript.sh
Also, you should add a shebang to the top of the script.
Example: #!/bin/bash
Note: Use the appropriate shebang for the shell you want to process your script.
If you do not want to make the script executable, although I can't see a reason one wouldn't want to, you can run it in AppleScript as in the following example:
do shell script "bash /path/to/file/myShellScript.sh"
Note: If you want to use sh over bash, just substitute it in the command and the shebang.

I was mistaken about the Applications directory name.
I wrote
/Application/Spyder3.appinstead of/Applications/Spyder3.appI'm sorry
