Can anyone suggest a way or sketch a workflow to be able to run shell scripts from alfred directly?

Example:

Say I have a example.sh in /home/folder/

I'd like to be able to run this from Alfred; i.e. the following sequence of events happen:

1. I type example.

2. example.sh shows up in the list of results.

3. I [hotkey] to the options menu of example.

4. I [hotkey] something (a workflow?) to execute the script (in /home/folder).

Would it be possible to add a compose option? I.e. so that the command

'gmail recipient@domain.com short message'

would do what is expected?

Thanks for the workflow/controller!

Please add queueing !

I solved my problem when I realized Alfred couldn't open any terminal windows whatsoever.

I had "Custom" set as the chosen terminal, this was copied over from Alfred's preferences on the other computer.  

However in the new computer I only have the OSX Terminal installed.

So after changing the preference to use "Terminal", the workflow runs great =D. 

Also, the lack of notifications in 1. in the above post was explained when it happened today; I have a Do Not Disturb mode scheduled for certain times of the day, and all my Alfred notifications get caught by this.

Hi, I'm having trouble trying to install this on a new computer.  (I've previously installed it successfully on a different computer, with a small subset of the errors below, all of which cleared quickly after restart of alfred or the mac itself, or just random good luck).  

I've installed lastpass-cli, which works in terminal.

So far workflow behavior has been:

1. No reaction to any of the lastpass commands (lpsetemail, lplogin).

(reinstall/restart stuff at random, hope for the best)

2. lpsetemail now works insofar as the notification center now says "Login Email Address Set To: myemailaddress".  However, lplogin still does nothing, and search says I'm not logged in (I tried this before and after logging in to LP in the terminal with the same result).

Please help; I really like using it on my other computer

I would like to use (either standard alfred web search or a custom workflow) alfred to launch google searches. At the moment, they all open in a new window if the app (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) is not already open.  I would like the behavior to be that the search opens in a new tab even if the app is currently closed, and is launched by the alfred query.  Any help appreciated.

Here is a screenshot.

I would like to be able to see the screen behind alfred (for example, which is useful when I'm using a translation workflow).  Hence the transparency appearance settings.  

Blurring or removing/adjusting transparency doesn't work for this.
