I am trying to setup a watch folder so that when a file is added to a folder, I can run a shell script...for this purpose I made a simple test but cannot make it work...
Here is my applescript
on adding folder items to theWatchedFolder after receiving theDetectedItems
activate
display dialog "Transcode Successful"
do shell script "/Users/wme/Desktop/script.sh" & theDetectedItems
end adding folder items to
and the script.sh
#!/bin/sh
f="$1"
do
name=$(basename "$f")
dir=$(dirname "$f")
notify-send "$name"
done
While it does alert me "Transcode Successful" So I do know that the applescript is working...I dont get notified via the shellscript that the correct filename has transmitted...how do I do that?
