I know that it would be ideal to not duplicate the name of the Service having it once in the workflow's bundle and again in your "Run Shell Script" action, but I don't know how to get the name of the currently running Service.</p> <p>-- Kaydell<br> <a href="http://mailto%3akaydell@yahoo.com" rel="nofollow">kaydell@yahoo.com</a></p>
