Rails - Feb 2006 - Packaging an Application on Mac OS X with Platypus

Platypus (http://sveinbjorn.sytes.net/platypus) is an application that 
takes a shell script and packages it as a clickable Mac OS X 
application.
I would like to have a clickable application that executes the command 
"script/server" and displays the output in the text window, alongside 
with a "quit"-button that ends the server process.
My shell script looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
$1/../script/server

When I execute the generated application the server gets started 
correctly but it produces no output and the application quits without 
ending the server script.

Has anybody tried what I am doing? Any tips for getting the desired 
behavior?
