I don't work with texshop ( only sometimes ) and i need a script
if my file.tex incude pstricks code. i try to modify the ps4pdf script
  with success to do this.

And then i want to put \pdfoutput=0 at the beginning of my file with  
bash.

pdflatex '\pdfoutput=0\input' filename is possible with bash ?

For the pstricks code , pst-pdf is fine  also, with the advices of H  
Voss,
  but it's for me an opportunity to learn  (bash, perl etc...) and i  
want to
  compare the results .

Greetings  Alain
