All this assumes you've installed MacTeX-2015. If you haven't or want more information go to <http://www.tug.org/mactex/elcapitan.html>.

I haven’t looked at Sneep’s typeset scripts to see what might need to be changed there. At the moment the only script by Sneep that I’m using is his source-to-pdf synchronization script, which shouldn’t be affected by El Capitan at all. I’ll let you know how it works out, but like I indicated, it could be a number of days, but hopefully by this weekend sometime. I don’t even know if Grigg or Sneep are still maintaining their scripts.

I upgraded to El Capitan last night (I am the guinea pig for my department) and can confirm that the only change I had to make to get them running under the new system was to make the single replacement in the Unix shell script CompileTeX-engine suggested by Herb. Documents compiled with these scripts under Yosemite now compile under El Capitan. I am using MacTeX 2015 installed under Yosemite then updated for 10.11.

John,

Thanks for sharing! Since I keep Sneep’s typeset scripts archived, I’ll be updating them as well, and make sure they work on my system. I won’t be able to verify the fix for Grigg’s scripts until I install El Capitan, and that won’t happen until I download the update. I have a DSL connection, so it takes hours to download, and even people with fast broadband are still reporting slow download speeds as of this morning. I’ll set my machine to not sleep at all, and then start the download before I go to bed tonight, and, if I don’t get disconnected overnight, it should be there in the morning.
