Open Maya from terminal to run Environment Variables

Basically, if you edit your environment variables on OSX, maya won't necessarily run them on auto when you start it if you have special entries in there. I have a few relating to Fabric Engine and starting up.

This script runs terminal, opens your environment variables and runs maya with those specific variables, then it kills terminal.

After editing your maya env variables fiel, you would use this in apple script. I went as far as making a shortcut/alias to it and placing it in my doc to replace the regular maya alias in my doc. I edited the env file with sudo nano to make sure the changes stuck.

--try

--open terminal

tell application "Terminal"

activate

delay 0.8

--run maya env variables

do script ". /Applications/Autodesk/maya2014/Maya.app/Contents/bin/MayaENV.sh"

--keystroke ". /Applications/Autodesk/maya2014/Maya.app/Contents/bin/MayaENV.sh"

tell application "System Events"

keystroke return

delay 1

--start maya

keystroke "open /Applications/Autodesk/maya2014/Maya.app"

keystroke return

delay 8

--kill terminal

set BunchaAppsProcesses to {"Terminal", ""}

tell application "System Events"

repeat with BunchaAppsProcesses in BunchaAppsProcesses

set BunchaAppsProcessUnixID to (unix id of processes whose name is BunchaAppsProcesses)

try

do shell script "kill -9 " & BunchaAppsProcessUnixID

end try

end repeat

end tell

end tell

end tell

--end tell

--end tell

--end try
