- DragNet
- =======
-
- DragNet is a NEXTSTEP utility that provides drag and drop access to
- scripts written in perl and popular shells such as sh and csh.
- Scripts are created in a special window, that when miniaturized,
- creates a drop well on the Workspace Manager's desktop. When files
- are dragged from the Workspace Manager, or any other application that
- sources file names as drag events, and subsequently dropped on a
- DragNet script icon, that script is executed with the dropped file
- names as arguments.
-
- DragNet manages the spawning of separate processes for each invocation
- of a script and ensures that multiple instances of a single script are
- not executed. Script output (stdout and stderr) is captured to a Log
- panel within DragNet and, if you want, to syslogd. A Processes panel
- provides for the monitoring and control of scripts which are
- executing, or queued for execution.
