Im trying to run a shell script from Hazel. The command im using works fine in terminal, but from Hazel it returns a Fail.
/bin/sh
/Applications/Subler/SublerCLI -t {Rating:PG} -o "$1"; done
Can anyone please advise where im going wrong. Im almost certain this was working 2 months ago, then i my hard drive crashed and i have to re-do, many Hazel commands.
Thanks
Chris

Wait, is the /bin/sh the first line in the script? That line is not needed. You just need to make sure the "shell" specified is /bin/sh.

Yes. the /bin/sh is not in the line of code and is in the shell box above the code box.
thanks

Oh, I should've noticed this before. Get rid of the "done" at the end. You aren't using a loop so the "done" there is out of place.
