Automator autorun

[thelostrose]

hi!

i've got a fine working automator-workflow. the thing is, i want the workflow to start without clicking on 'run'.

using the terminal i use the following command to start the workflow:

open -a /Applications/automator.app /Users/Michael/automator/virtual1.workflow

but this only opens it, but doesn't start it.

how can i do it? or is there a possibility to change it within the automator.application?

thanks in advance!

Automator workflows can be saved as self-running applications by choosing the Application option from the format menu in the Save dialog. Like other applications, these "applets" can be launched by double-clicking them or placing them in the Dock.

Save your Workflow as an application, and then just use the open command on that.

but why didn't i think of that? i guess i didn't see the wood for the trees.

cheers
