Ott Mr
i am trying to find a good scripting language for Mac OS X. I was told
ruby would be a good choice. Before i dedicate my time to learning it I
have to find out a couple of things.
Can you run ruby form the GUI? i.e double click it . I don't want users
to have to go to the terminal.
Here is an example of what i would like to do. We use a package builder
to customize installs. The only part that it can't do is user related
preferences and library files. Which means we(IT department) have to
copy the files. It is easy to do and it only takes about 3mins. But it
would be nice if i could just double click a script and have it take
5sec. Is this something I can do with ruby?
I am more concerned with running it from a GUI. If I can't do that I
might as well stick to shell scripts because I can call them from apple
script which I can run form the GUI. Plus I already know shell
scripting.
