osaapplet — Open Scripting Architecture (OSA) applet interpreter

osaapplet path

osaapplet provides the standard script application “shell” for an Open Scripting Architecture (OSA) script. It provides a menu bar and optional splash dialog, and handles routing incoming Apple events to the script, notably the run and open events. It is normally used as the interpreter for a script file, like this:

#!/usr/libexec/osaapplet

The script, which may be compiled script data, may either follow the interpreter line or be a separate file in the traditional bundle location Resources/Scripts/main.scpt. osaapplet assumes that it is running inside a bundle; running it without a bundle may produce unexpected results.

osaapplet was introduced in OS X 10.10.
