Re: Perl script: where was I executed from?

Well, up until this last update is BBEdit, when a script was run while in BBEdit, the Unix log file would automatically come to the fore front. Now it stays hidden.

A gentleman on the BBEdit mail list gave an   osasctipt that one can execute from within the script bring executed. But sometimes I run from terminal session, so don’t want to tell BBEdit to do something is not required. Hence where am I and from that know what to do...

Thoughts??? ;)
