As a web programmer in java, I spend my time compiling with maven, updating and commiting to subversion, stopping and starting the tomcat, viewing tails of logs, and a lot of executions of scripts.
After programming for the iPhone I wanted to program something in Objective-C so starting from the idea of Tomcat Controller I have developed an application that can run scripts and view results in a new tab if you want. For example, you launch a tail of the log of tomcat in a new tab and without having to open new tabs you can launch and stop the tomcat.
Every script that configure has its own environment, so if we need to define some environment variables we can do it without problem. For example, to launch tomcat in debug mode.
The application is able to launch any script, you can even write your own, some examples:
1 - cd /myFolder;. /myscript
This will execute myscript inside the folder /myFolder
2- open -e /etc/hosts
This would open the file /etc/hosts file with default editor.

You only have to unzip and
move or copy to the Applications folder.
