This is a collection of scripts I wrote for Mac OS X. Most of the scripts are pretty simple; I post them here in the hope that someone will find them useful. All scripts run on OS 10.2.6. I have not tested them on other versions of the OS. Unless otherwise stated, the software is in the public domain.
This Perl script is a drop-in replacement for /usr/bin/mail that uses Mail.app (via an applescript) rather than sendmai or postfixl to send mail, thus saving me the effort of configuring sendmail. Unlike /usr/bin/mail, you can't use it for reading mail. Because it has to connect to Mail.app, this script will only work if you have the GUI running. I installed it in ~/bin/mailx.

This pair of applescripts sets or clears the checkboxes on selected songs in iTunes. Install in ~/Library/iTunes/Scripts. These are no longer needed for more recent versions of iTunes.

This applescript converts all phone numbers in the Address book into US style 333-333-4444 format and drops leading 1s. The script assumes the area code is 607; use Script Editor to change it.
