iHook

This is a great little utility (I've used it for quite a while now - this is an update) that let's a Unix weenie like me put some nice GUI touches on shell scripts or any command line executable. It's quite a nifty little toolset to automate (and GUI-fy - is that a word?) the power in the OS X Unix system.

iHook 1.0. A frontend for Mac OS X command-line executables. [freshmeat.net - Mac OS X]

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
