Which you can do by appending ' > /dev/null 2>&1 &' to the end of the shell command.Note, though, that your command will not work as written because 'choose folder' will return an alias object which can not be passed to a shell command as-is. Shell commands require unix-style paths for all file/folder parameters. Fortunately, AppleScript makes this easy by providing a POSIX path command which will convert an alias to a unix path. Additionally, since Mac paths can commonly include spaces and other non-shell safe characters, you may want to quote the path, too, like:
set shell_script to "usr/local/bin/readpst -o " & quoted form of POSIX path of mbox_output & " " & pst_input & " > /dev/null 2>&1 &"Posted on Mar 22, 2008 3:16 PM See the answer in context Close Q: how to write an applescript and ignore errors All replies Helpful answers by dev_sleidy, dev_sleidy Mar 22, 2008 11:54 AM in response to adamb529 Level 4 (1,570 point

We are having this problem at work right now where Macs can't open pdfs, docs, and such unless it's connected through smb. so http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39025072/ignore-shell-script-error-in-applescript until we figure that out this is just a bandaid. Don't want to just add both connections to the drive in login items because then the user would see errors. Problem with this code is, if the mac can't ping our server, the script just stops and throws an error, The action “Run AppleScript” encountered an error. ping: cannot resolve cvm62v: Unknown host I've messed with "on error" and such but I know very little about this so I don't know what is wrong. -- (0) Check to see if there server exists by pinging it set max_retry to 60 set k to 0 repeat while (do shell script "ping -c 1 cvm62v") contains "100% packet loss" delay 5 set k to k + 1 -- (2) It doesn't exist, mount the https volume if k > max_retry then tell application "Finder" try mount volume "https://my.server.edu/shared/" delay 1 end try end tell end repeat -- (2) It exists, mount the smb volume tell application "Finder" try mount volume "smb://cvm62v/shared/" delay 1 end try end tell applescript automator share|improve this question asked Aug 18 at 18:24 Sk

I'm trying to send an AppleScript to users informing them that they have updates available for their 3rd Party apps. They have the option of ignoring for the time being or clicking OK to run the updates (a 'do shell script' command that triggers a bunch of policies, based on whatever apps applescript do shell the user has installed) Occasionally, the script runs fine and the user is prompted accordingly. But other times the user sees nothing, and I get: Script Result: /private/tmp/JulyPrompt.scpt: execution error: An error of type -10810 has occurred. (-10810) We're still running 7.31, but I'm not sure if that makes a difference. 9 Posted: 7/7/11 at 1:43 PM by sean I have seen this error code before. If I remember correctly it was someone trying to write a script that needed to interface with the gui. Of course, if no one is logged in, then you can't do this. Hence the error message and why it works sometimes, but not others. You can check who is logged in with: stat -f%Su /dev/console You can run this in Applescript with do shell script ("stat -f%Su /dev/console") If the machine is at the login window, then the reply will be root. So just do a test and if user isn't root, then run. Clearly assuming that no one logs into the gui as root on your machines. Hoping that this is a safe assumption. Of course,

Often, when I use the applescript, it does nothing. But if I wait a moment or two and try again, it works perfectly. And it keeps working. But if some time passes and I trigger it again, it'll fail again the first time. After that, it works like a champ. Here's the applescript. Any idea what's going on here? ignoring application responses tell application "System Events" to tell process "QuickHue" click menu bar item 1 of menu bar 1 end tell end ignoring do shell script "killall System\\ Events" delay 0.1 tell application "System Events" to tell process "QuickHue" tell menu bar item 1 of menu bar 1 click menu item 2 of menu 1 end tell end tell applescript menu-bar share|improve this question asked Jul 8 '13 at 4:58 2oh1 3441318 The ignoring is waiting for application respond! first line tell application "System Events" than use ignoring statement ect. –Buscar웃 Jul 8 '13 at 5:12 developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/applescript/… –Buscar웃 Jul 8 '13 at 5:35 I got the above applescript
