Applescript Extension Attributes

Quick question, can I make an extension attribute script in Applescript? I need to work with some lists and not so good at that in Bash.

Any examples of the return format? Or examples at all?

Thanks

Jeff

You can run an applescript within an shell script if needed. ie

#!/bin/bash

##############################
# Description of what the script does. #
# @Author, XXXXXXXX
# @Date, #
# @Version History
# 1.0 # ################################

# notes - starts the screen saver

osascript -e 'tell application id "com.apple.ScreenSaver.Engine" to launch'

exit 0

You can run Apple Script inside of bash, but your input/output may be tricky.

example:

#!/bin/bash

some unix commands

# start apple script

osascript <<EndofAS

bunch of apple script commands

EndofAS

exit 0
