10.3: Another Option
Authored by: jbc on Feb 06, '04 12:52:33PM

For quite some time after upgrading to OS X, I was baffled why no one ever mentioned the fact that you could cause shell scripts to simply run terminal-free with a double-click in the Finder by binding it to the Launcher app in the Utilities folder using Get Info. Later discovered that this app had not been installed by Apple, but rather by the Tcl/TkAqua Batteries Included package. It's available separately here:

Nice addition to the Panther features mentioned above if you run a lot of shell or perl scripts. Usually just run my shell scripts from Dragthing now.

The Script Menu.menu works quite well, too. Very unintrusive and is easily accessible from any application.
