Copy file from Terminal and paste in Mail
The following script works but it needs to open (and close) a Finder window.
Save this to maccopy:
#!/usr/bin/osascript
on run args
set theFile to (POSIX file (first item of args)) as alias
tell application "Finder"
reopen
activate
set selection to {}
reveal theFile
end tell
delay 1
tell app "System Events"
keystroke "c" using command down
end tell
tell application "Finder"
close window 1
end tell
tell application "iTerm2"
activate
end tell
end
and chmod +x maccopy.
Use with maccopy PATH-TO-FILE.
