Have you downloaded everything you need.

1. The SmackBook folder
2. The AMSTracker
3. Desktop Manager

Now, you can put the AMSTracker inside the smackbook folder

The Code you used sounds correct, as long as the Smackbook folder (with the AMSTracker) is actually inside the Applications folder.

You really need to elaborate on what you've done so far for me to help.

Or you can just use Virtue Desktops and get the same effect (plus switching of desktops using the ambient light sensor if you have a MBP) without messing with any commands.

ok i got it working, it looks like it wont work if my smackbook folder is in my applications folder, i draged it on my desktop now it works. ohh well. but i have another problem, i can't close the terminal window, because if i do it will stop working is there any way i can turn those commands into a one click icon. kinda like in windows when you make a batch file.

As PkennethV suggested, this functionality is built into the latest build of Virtue Desktops. That'll allow you to not have to worry about Terminal or anything like that, just one simple app.
