This is great! Thanks!

I know this post is old, but if you add >/dev/null 2>&1 & to the end of the Automator path, the application will automatically quit after launching and running the script.

I love synergy, using it for all of my machines now, even the iPad works:

Thanks, just what I was looking for.
You might want to add that I had to chmod run_synergy.command (chmod 755 run_synergy.command).
Thanks,

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for. At least on Snow Leopard, I don’t get the Automator icon in my dock after launching run_synergy.

This was handy, especially since my loginhook for synergy stopped working after I updated to Leopard. I know nothing about automator though. I see this leaves an icon for the running app in my Dock. Any way to run this completely invisibly in the background and not have a Dock icon show up?

When I use the automator application, I see the icon in my dock only while the program is launching and then it disappears automatically. I wonder if it's something in the config file for synergy that makes it run in the background or if it's just a difference between the two different versions of the OS (Works for me in Leopard and Snow Leopard).

Let me know if you discover the solution.
