macOS Terminal.app interpreter

Installation

$ [sudo] pip install mac-terminal-interpreter

Benefits

• opens in the Terminal.app even without .command extension
• stdout, stderr logs
• makes .command file executable
• window closure options (doesn't close, close if the shell exited cleanly, close always,)
• displayed non-zero exit status
• bell notification on error

How it works

script.ext

#!/usr/bin/env terminal
...

stdout, stderr logs:

~/Library/Logs/<slug>/<date>/out.log
~/Library/Logs/<slug>/<date>/err.log

Config

~/.bashrc:

export MAC_TERMINAL_CLOSE=0 # doesn't close (default)
export MAC_TERMINAL_CLOSE=1 # close if the shell exited cleanly
export MAC_TERMINAL_CLOSE=2 # close always

Terminal error sound:

$ defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.sound.beep.sound /System/Library/Sounds/Basso.aiff
