This question may very well pass as on topic, at dusk with the light behind it
(appologies to any ladies on list Gilbert and Sullivan were chauvinistic)

to use mythfrontend --noupnp, cause it works for me, how can I make a dock launcher that does this. I can make an app that launches with arguments, (with Automator) but the dock launcher this spawns is the original mythfrontend without arguments.

I can build an app with upnp disabled, but what is best
