[X-Unix] Copy clipboard between Macs through command line?

[James Wright]

Here's a couple of applescript's, that you should be able to execute 
from the command line using the applescript command line tools (test in 
script editor first):

save clipboard:

set theClip to the clipboard
set theFile to (open for access "Macintosh HD:MyClipboard" with write 
permission)
set eof theFile to 0
write theClip to theFile as record
close access theFile


load clipboard:

set the clipboard to (read file "Macintosh HD:MyClipboard" as record)



HTH

James.


p.s.

There's no error checking, you might want to add some.
