Running a Shell Script in a Shortcut

Scripting Forums Shortcuts
#25

Thanks Mockman.

I edited my Man Page Viewer shortcut to work a bit differently:

  • The file names of created PDF man pages are the name of the shell command, and these PDFs are not removed or overwritten at any point.

  • The shortcut checks to see if there is an existing PDF for a specified shell command, and, if there is, the existing PDF is opened.

The folder that will contain the PDF man pages must be set at the beginning of the shortcut.
