Create a drag and drop Dock icon for UNIX apps
Authored by: surgenet on Jun 06, '03 01:44:40AM

The line:

DISPLAY=:0.0;
export DISPLAY;

helped fix a problem with a X11 / Cocoa program I'm writing.
Great hint!

Shareware app to launch shell scripts from the finder
Authored by: andyabides on Jun 20, '03 04:48:30AM

I really wanted a way to launch shell scripts with the extension .sh directly from the Finder, but I couldn't find an app that would do this, so I wrote one myself. If you're interested, it's called Shellsilver and it's at http://www.stanford.edu/~andyszy/software/shellsilver.html. It lets you launch shell scripts by double-clicking them.

You can add a .command to a shell script, chmod it to executable, and it will run when doubleclicked.
