Automator autorun

[thelostrose]

hi!

i've got a fine working automator-workflow. the thing is, i want the workflow to start without clicking on 'run'.

using the terminal i use the following command to start the workflow:

open -a /Applications/automator.app /Users/Michael/automator/virtual1.workflow

but this only opens it, but doesn't start it.

how can i do it? or is there a possibility to change it within the automator.application?

thanks in advance!

Save your Workflow as an application, and then just use the open command on that.
