hah! yeah thats typical. Actually, your way is much better!! That'll teach me to always read the whole thread before posting - i didn't even notice those previous instructions... Regards, Jonathan

So, I got home and tried using jar bundler and its incredibly easy!! For those that want to do the same thing, 1. right click on CCTV and select 'show package contents' 2. open the contents folder 3. drag and drop the resources folder to your desktop whilst holding alt 4. open jar bundler 5. click choose and browse to desktop/resources/java 6. select CCTV.jar 7. in arguments to main put your parameters in this format 192.168.1.x 80 username password 8. click choose icon and browse to desktop/resources 9. select cctv.icns 10. click create application and choose were to save your new app voila! you're done! Thanks again steve!!

Thanks Steve. There is a JavaApplicationStub executable in the CCTV.app package. I can launch CCTV from the shell with this file. Can I pass the attributes to this file?? I have developer tools installed on my machine at home, so I can try using Jar Bundler this evening but I've never used it before and I've no experience coding in Java. Looking at the docs for Jar Bundler, I need to know the.... fully qualified name of the application’s main class??? it all looks a bit scary to me! a shell script would be a lot easier! Regards Jonathan

what a great app!! thanks for your hard work. I'm moving over to using macs in my office and this is one of the last pieces in the puzzle. Because I'm eternally optimistic I thought I might mention the two 'extras' that would make this app purrrrfect for me.... 1. remembering the hostname and password (and even perhaps the option to auto login!) 2. the ability to toggle between the current controls and a slim line version that only shows the camera buttons. ie, A nice clean interface for watching live. Thanks again!! Regards, Stan
