Question

You can create a shell script or a Python or Ruby script and run it on the Mac by using “Terminal” … if you have Finder open, and you click on the icon for the file containing the source code of a saved shell script, is there a way to have that script run, instead of opening in my text editor ?

Answer 1

Yes – just put a .command suffix on the script.

Note: make sure the script is executable, e.g.

$ chmod +x myscript.command
