Script Runner is a Mac utility app that is intended to allow you to run scripts without opening a terminal session.

Standard options for execution involve terminal sessions:

• If you set a script file's executable bit (e.g. chmod +x myscript.sh), you can execute it from a terminal.
• If you rename such a script to a .command file (or even remove the file extension), opening it from Finder will execute the script in a terminal window.

With Script Runner installed, you can rename your script to have a .shx (shell-executable) or .rsh (run-shell) file extension. When such a file is opened, Script Runner will execute the script instructions it contains, but it will do so in the background - without a terminal window being displayed.

The example folder in this repo contains an example file which will speak a sentence when executed; you can view the file content to verify the shell script code that will execute.
