grantwood Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Hello, I'm basically looking for a cross-platform version of the Abstrakt Shell plugin that also works on Intel Macs. Does one exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I think the MBS plugin at www.geistinteractive.com will be your best bet. Note though that you might be able to find a plugin that use the shell on both platforms but your shell code will still need to be specific to the platform.

grantwood Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Hi Wim, Thanks for the response. That MBS plugin is a little too expensive for my tastes. I just learned about the SmartPill plugin, but that requires PHP to be installed, which isn't the case on a typical Windows workstation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjaeger Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Use abstract shell plug for Windows & PowerMac, AppleScript "do shell script" for Intel & PowerPC Macs. Use a CF which converts input to what applescript expectsso you can use the same syntax as with shell plug. Also, if you expect a result passed back to FM, read this http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2065.html#TNTAG2 article on how to get a response ouf of "do shell script" an incorporate that method in the CF. Should be fairly easy. Do not forget to post that CF back to the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
