I'm guessing this causes problems for Webcat in reading these files??

I haven't even gotten as far as loading any of my sites, since I can't even get to the Admin yet...- The WebCatalogCtl file uses two different ps commands to locate the Webcat process, and neither work. As far as I can see, there's no way to get ps to limit the process display based on username. I switched mine to:pid=`ps -aux | grep WebCatalog | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`which now works.- The link that is created in the WebCatalog folder doesn't appear to point to the executable.

Using IE 4.5 on Mac works much better...Plus they don't know anything about Webcat 4.0 beta since they apparently aren't participating in the development of webcat any more. One helpful thing he did tell me was that mapping Webcat to process .html files (in the Built-in Mime types section) will cause lots of built-in iTools redirects to break. YMMV.Has anyone been able to get Webcat 4 running on OSXS yet?
