Bashscripts.org

I'm using Mountain Lion and I'm trying to write a script to resize windows from the terminal via osascript.
Here's the script I was using:



Problem is, I get a "File <$appname> wasn't found" error.
Same line of code works fine when I type it directly on the terminal or call it as a function from my .profile file, though.

Should I be using a different format when calling osascript from bash scripts?
Thanks.

I think it's all about quotes, but since I don't have a Mac I can't play with your line.



Sure, you can use a here-document.

I don't have any lions either, but I just wonder if -e does something funny with the slash quote. I would try
The single quotes act like regular characters when they're inside the double quotes. I do that a lot with eval in bash scripts.

One other thing looks very suspicious though: {$bounds}
Are you sure you don't mean ${bounds}?

He's cross-posted here.
As you can see, bounds is a comma-separated list of numbers, so nope there is no syntax error.
