I generally avoid commenting on code unless I'm asked, but here's a few tips which I think will be useful in a lot of TM-related shell scripts, don't take it personal that this was triggered by your script! :)
The shell is capable of doing replacements in variables. There's a few different forms, for this one, one can do: ${variable%suffix_to_remove}, e.g.:
${TM_FILEPATH%.tex}.pdfAnother form is (for single replacement): ${variable/search/replace} and to replace all instances it's: ${variable//search/replace}.
Another neat thing is that we can set stdin for a command to a string using <<<, for example:
perl <<<$TM_FILEPATH -pe 's/\.tex$/.pdf/' | xargsKind regards Allan
