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.
