Hi,

Every time a SD backup is made to a sparse image file, the file increases in size. I would like to automate this procedure by executing a shell script at the end of my backup.

I wrote a regular AppleScript that works well. Can somebody help me convert this script in SS language:

property imagesPathList : {"/Sauvegardes/SuperDuper/Duplication - iMacG5.sparseimage"}

tell application "Caffeine"
	turn on
end tell

repeat with i in imagesPathList
	set filePath to i
	try
		do shell script "hdiutil compact " & quoted form of filePath
	end try
end repeat

tell application "Caffeine"
	turn off
end tell

Regards.

P.S. Caffeine is an utility that can reset the system's idletime periodically, preventing the computer of going to sleep. I suspect that the shell script will not need these statements because SD does that already.
