It should be. Here is ls -l -rwxrwxrwx@ 1 madsen admin 20 Apr 12 14:11 LExport.sh > > Also, does the script specify a command interpreter with a hash-bang comment > at the top? In other words, when you successfully run it outside LyX, do you > do so with "./LExport.sh", or do you specify a command interpreter (e.g, > "bash ./LExport.sh"? Yes. Here is the script (at the moment I'm just trying to make the script run, so it doesn't do anything yet): #!/bin/bash cp $1 $2 Perhaps it's some security issue on Mac that prevents it from running? Anyway, now that I know there is a message pane, I figured out exactly where it goes wrong with the command-sequence. The issue is with copying figures. Sometimes they don't copy, and pdflatex fails. If I have a long LyX document, but without figures, the command-sequence seems to always work, producing a latex and pdf file.
