#27922 — Another AppleScript question

I have created a script and saved it as an Application. When I click the Run 
button from within the Script Editor, it executes as expected, no errors. 

But if I double-click on the application file I just created I get the 
notice: 

     "The command exited with a non-zero status," and the script doesn't give 
the result that it should. 

I would expect this to run just like it did from within the editor. 

Why does this script not run? 

Thanks!

Provide the script so we can see it please.

Sounds like you're using "do shell script". Make sure to read 
<https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2065/_index.html>. 
Likely culprits are with handling of stdout and stderr, (relative) 
paths, privileges and such.

Depending in part on your OS version, Script Editor may be another 
context than the one your applet runs in.[*] That context in turn might 
be relevant in yet other ways to "do shell script" itself.


[*] In AS, "me" refers to the script itself. But when run inside Script 
Editor, it refers to Script Editor. That is, it used to. Apple changed 
that somewhat recently, but I don't recall in when exactly.
