This is the same process I used to create the alias (on MacOS 10.13.6, a bit behind yours).
It was not creating the alias that required me to run the script. When I double click on my alias, the script opens in Text Editor instead of running in Terminal. Unlike a windows shortcut or Linux launcher, the alias doesn't have a property to let you specify the program you want to open the file in. In order to get the script to run in Terminal, I had to do the steps I described to define "open with" for the script file (not the alias file). This is the procedure where I had to actually run the script in order to specify the "open with" program. Once I had done that, I could double click on the script (or on the alias) and it would run in Terminal. I actually don't know if this now applies to all files on the system with the .sh extension, or just the one script file. The alias works in any location where it's located. I believe this is just a symbolic link like ln.
After having set the "open with" value for the script file, when I double click on the alias file, a terminal window opens, the script runs, and finishes, but I get the [Process completed] message and the Terminal sits there in a non-functional state without the window closing.
This is what I want, I just don't know why the Terminal window closes when the script is finished on your system and stays open on mine. I have run this script on both windows and linux for a long time and I have never seen that before.

The fact that you have to take an intermediate step to specify what is to be used to run your script tells me that something is wrong. I'm guessing that you skipped part of the 1st step I mentioned in post #5. Please show us the output from the commands:
where script is the name of the file containing your shell script.
If the mode of script doesn't allow you to execute it OR if the first line of script isn't #!/path/to/interpreter, then script is not an executable shell script file.
The link Finder is creating for me is not a hard link as would be created by ln nor a soft link as would be created by ln -s; it is a binary executable file that directly invokes terminal to run script or to run /path/to/interpreter /path/to/script.
For a small script i want it so that the terminal closes when the script has completed its tasks.
To do so i use at the end if the script the following:
echo "Hello, World!"
echo "Knowledge is power."
echo ""
echo "shutting down terminal in 10 seconds"
exit 10

Is there a trick to closing a mac terminal with a command? I would think you could just type exit into your terminal but that doesn't work. I also tried quit and close just for the hell of it and that didn't work either. Does anyone know what the command is? (1 Reply)

svn::notify::mirror::rsync
SVN::Notify::Mirror::Rsync(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation SVN::Notify::Mirror::Rsync(3pm)NAME
SVN::Notify::Mirror::Rsync - Mirror a repository path via Rsync
SYNOPSIS
Use svnnotify in post-commit:
svnnotify --repos-path "$1" --revision "$2"
--handler Mirror::Rsync --to "/path/to/local/htdocs"
[--svn-binary /full/path/to/svn]
--rsync-host remote_server
[--rsync-delete=[yes|no]]
[--rsync-dest "/path/on/remote/server"]
[--rsync-args arg1 [--rsync-args arg2...]]
[[--rsync-ssh] [--ssh-user remote_user]
[--ssh-identity /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa]]
or better yet, use SVN::Notify::Config for a more sophisticated setup:
#!/usr/bin/perl -MSVN::Notify::Config=$0
--- #YAML:1.0
'':
PATH: "/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin"
'path/in/repository':
handler: Mirror
to: "/path/to/www/htdocs"
'some/other/path/in/repository':
handler: Mirror
to: "/path/to/local/www/htdocs"
rsync-host: "remote_host"
rsync-dest: "/path/on/remote/www/htdocs"
ssh-user: "remote_user"
ssh-identity: "/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa"
DESCRIPTION
Keep a directory in sync with a portion of a Subversion repository. Typically used to keep a development web server in sync with the
changes made to the repository. This directory can either be on the same box as the repository itself, or it can be remote (via SSH
connection).
USAGE
Depending on whether the target is a "Local Mirror" or a Remote Mirror, there are different options available. All options are available
either as a commandline option to svnnotify or as a hash key in SVN::Notify::Config (see their respective documentation for more details).
Working Copy on Local host
Because 'svn export' is not able to be consistently updated, the local rsync'd directory must be a full working copy. The remote server
will only contain the ordinary files (no Subversion admin files).
The files in the working copy must be writeable (preferrably owned) by the user identity executing the hook script (this is the user
identity that is running Apache or svnserve respectively).
Local Mirror
Please see " SVN::Notify::Mirror " for details.
Remote Mirror
Used for directories not located on the same machine as the repository itself. Typically, this might be a production web server located in
a DMZ, so special consideration must be paid to security concerns. In particular, the remote mirror server may not be able to directly
access the repository box.
o rsync-host
This value is required and must be the hostname or IP address of the remote host (where the mirror directories reside).
o rsync-delete
The default mode of operation is to delete remote files which are not present in the local working copy. NOTE: this will delete any
unversioned files in the remote directory tree. Unless you have all of your files under version control, you should pass the
"--no-rsync-delete" or "--rsync-delete no" option.
o rsync-dest
This optional value specifies the path to update on the remote host. If you do not specify this value, the same path as passed in as
the "--to" parameter will be used (this may not be what you meant to do).
o rsync-args
This optional parameter can be used to pass additional commandline options to the rsync command. You can use this multiple times in
order to pass multiple options. The default args are "--archive --compress". See the "rsync-ssh" options for using SSH instead of RSH
(rather than pass those commands via "--rsync-args"
o rsync-ssh
This optional parameter signals that you wish to use SSH instead of whatever the default remote shell program is configured in your
copy of rsync. You may need to set one or more of the "ssh-*" parameters as well.
o ssh-user
If the remote user is different than the local user executing the postcommit script, you can specify it with this parameter. You would
often use this in conjunction with the next parameter.
o ssh-identity
This value may be optional and should be the full path to the local identity file being used to authenticate with the remote host. If
you are setting the ssh-user to be something other than the local user name, you will typically also have to set the ssh-identity.
