Dear fellows, it looks as if I have wasted my time again trying to make texexec --autopdf work on Panther (Mac OS X 10.3). I found out that Adobe Reader 7.0 and Apple's Preview.app are not (Apple-)scriptable, so reloading the pdffile don't work with these two. TeXshop's previewer is scriptable, and I was able to write a small script that opens and reloads the file while keeping the view when a document got typeset with texexec. Yeah, I was happy, because this is a nice feature. Then I found out that TeXshop already has this feature built in (same with TeXniscope), and there is no need for --autopdf on the Mac.
