Hello,
Is there anyway you know of to schedule the launching of Platypus
scripts via anacron or cron while keeping the app in the background?
Even with the "Runs in the background" option checked in Platypus,
the following:
/bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/open /Users/joe/backup_scripts/
Backup_Desktop.app"
which is how the invocation of the app appears in my anacrontab file,
launches the app just fine, but into the foreground. There does not
appear to be any command line options for /usr/bin/open to launch an
app in the background, and for some reason apps launched this way
seem to not respect the Platypus setting like manually invoked
launches do.
Any ideas?
