Hey Muhammed, good to see you here. Unfortunatey Applescript is not something I'm very good at, but I hope someone else can help. I think it'd be great to get more AS stuff on the site.

Sorry I missed this one, haven't been around lately.

This is a pretty easy one:

osascript doesn't have a GUI to interact with, so you need to tell something with a GUI to display the dialog.

In this case, Finder would be the way to go.

Here is what you want:

osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to display dialog "hi"'
