Run Scripts Script

Run Scripts Script by Patrick Rutledge

This is a script that launches other scripts. Its purpose is to provide quick launching of frequently used scripts. It searches the directory specified by the path map '$MY_SCRIPTS, and lists all the scripts there in a dialog. Double-clicking on a script launches it. The main difference between this and "exec", shipped with Rose, 'is that "exec" uses a standard file dialog for selecting the script to run. The standard file dialog starts in the current working directory; this script presents only a list of 'scripts in $MY_SCRIPTS. Comments in the script indicate how to change it to run compiled scripts.

Installation instruction

Place the script in your $SCRIPT_PATH directory (the Rose directory by default). Name it runScript.ebs.
Place your frequently used scripts in a directory. Define a virtual path map named $MY_SCRIPTS that points to this directory.
