black-eyed-dog,
One way to get the same effect without using a script is to add Terminal to your account's login items, as Ravelnze said, but specify that you want Terminal to run hidden.
Next time you log in, Terminal will start running, but no Terminal window will be visible. You even get the Terminal icon bouncing in the dock that you mentioned. When you click on the icon a window will appear.
If you are using Leopard, these are the steps -
- Log in as the user you want to change.
- Go to System Preferences. In the "System" section, select "Accounts".
- At the top of the right-hand side of the window, select "Login Items".
- Click the "+" sign near the bottom of the window to add an application.
- In the window that appears, navigate to Applications>Utilities and click on Terminal.app.
- Click the Add button.
- Terminal will appear in the list of applications. Click the check box in the "Hide" column.
Regards,
Davf
