Re: Shell Script or AppleScript?

I'm working on a project and wondering how you would approach this
problem. I need to copy a daily build from one machine to 3 different
machines. The script will need to take the latest file and post only
that file to the other machines.

Ideally, when the build is posted, it would be nice to just drag the
build onto the shell script and "just work". Is this possible?

There's a nice tool, "Platypus", which builds an
application from just about any kind of script.
It may be overkill in some cases, but it frees
you from a lot of detail that anyone as old as
I am has difficulty remembering :-)

It comes as a GUI and command line duo. I like
the command line style:

platypus {options} <script_name> <application_name>
