there is a simple little .app called Launcher

http://www.maths.mq.edu.au/~steffen/tcltk/Launcher/

save a script as an executable text file, set it to open with  
Launcher, then you can double-click it, or put it in the dock, or  
make it a startup item - whatever you require

Launcher it will just execute the script without opening a terminal  
window


use a script like this:


/Applications/Pd.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -nogui /Library/Pd/ 
slave.pd; exit


in my case slave.pd opens a fullscreen Gem window and accepts remote  
commands.
