ScriptGUI

Are you a long-time UNIX user who has been frustrated by the lack of a simple way to make a double-clickable shell script? If so, ScriptGUI is the solution you've been waiting for. ScriptGUI is a software that lets you run shell scripts from the Finder with ease.

With ScriptGUI, you can simply double-click your favorite shell and Perl scripts and they will run gracefully within a window. In addition, the handy tabs make it easy to view and edit the script itself. The Scriptlets feature even allows you to wrap up your scripts in neat little packages that you can share freely with your friends. These self-contained applications run by themselves, so your friends don't even need ScriptGUI to use them.

Installation is a breeze. Simply install ScriptGUI and any Perl scripts ending in .pl or shell scripts ending in .sh will become double-clickable. For any others, you can rename them to end with .sgui or .pl or .sh. Alternatively, you can use the Finder's "Show Info" box to make them open in ScriptGUI.

In summary, if you know what #!/bin/sh means and you're tired of not being able to make double-clickable shell scripts in Finder, give ScriptGUI a try. It's a great tool for UNIX users who want to streamline their workflow and share their scripts with others.
