Suggestions to run the script in the background without opening the UI #8

Hi,

I am running the script using Raycast but I want it to run in the background without opening any UI. Is that possible?

Can you please point me in the right direction.

Hi! That's really tricky. I've looked into other CLI scripts in the past, but they tend to break / they work until you have to reboot etc. This (painful) AppleScript only works by awkwardly using the UI - so what you're asking for is kinda possible, but not using AppleScript (that I know of)... for me, I trigger this script, then just wait a few seconds and the UI does it's thing, then closes ... which is good enough for me.

If you do find a solution - do let me know. good luck! 👍🏻
