I am trying to get a simple script to work that I can run from the desktop or have it load on login. All i want it to do is change do the directory /users/me/sites/sass and then run the command 'npm run compile:sass' thats it. I have tried automator but it throws out an error and wont run, i just tried to save it as an application with a run shell script option and put the above in.
Would be grateful for any advice, seems a pretty simple thing but just cant get it to play.
Thanks guys

First, get it to work from the command line, so you know everything is working as it should, then focus on running that script from your gui.
Step 1 - create the script
echo "cd /users/me/sites/sass ; npm run compile: sass" >> /users/me/myscript
Step 2 - make the script executable
chmod 775 /users/me/myscript
Step 3 - run it and confirm proper operation
. /users/me/myscript
Step 4 - add a link to the script from your gui
(gui dependent, sorry, can't help you here)
