Re: [Avid-L2] Mavericks App nap stop.

If you need something to run every time you boot up - you could look at 'Lingon'

http://www.peterborgapps.com/lingon/

I can't say I understand what that script is doing - but if you wanted to run it, as Agustin explained, after you drop it in to a text file, you will have to chmod + x the file as well. (allow it to be executable).

You could also look at naming the text file something.command as explained here:

This would let you double click the script to have it run.

Either way, hopefully there is some other solution in the works - because all of these suggestions are a bit 'clunky' (to me anyways).

You can copy the content of the script to a plain text file, open terminal a type "source 'path/to/script/file" to execute it. You can type source and drop the file to the terminal window.
That's the easiest way, not the better.
Ideally, in my opinion, one should run that script every time the system boots, but I don't know how to do that in Mavericks.
Hope this helps.

What is the proper terminology to describe this script? Is it an apple script or a unix code etc... How does one run this script? Do you cut and past the text into terminal? Never worked in this type of language. Guess things have changes sense I learned Fortran IV back in the late 70's at Berkeley. ;-)
