Function to get the path of an application bundle in OS X.
This function won't launch the application, and will return an exit exit code greater than zero if an error is encountered.
Applescript code based on an answer found in Stack Exchange: "AppleScript -Get the path to an application without opening it".
Source the script, copy it to your functions file, or run it directly. Your choice!
If sourced, the osx_app_path function will become available.
$ osx_app_path Preview
/Applications/Preview.app
$ osx_app_path -b com.apple.preview
/Applications/Preview.app
The -a switch is optional. If a bundle identifier (via -b) is given, it
takes precedence over any -a. If multiple options are given, only the last one
will be used.
Tested on OS X 10.9.5, using Bash 3.2 and Zsh 5.0.7.
Is this really needed for a simple script? Just in case...
