This is something I’ve done before with php shell scripts, as a way of making them multi-threaded. The script calls a copy of itself with a command line argument, and that argument tells the script to run as a child process rather than a parent. Then the two scripts can communicate via messages in an sql database, reading and writing files in a folder, or any other way.
I’m wondering if something like this would work in applescript? Just out of curiosity, I don’t currently have any need to do anything like this. I’m just wondering if I could?
