running a shell script

running a shell script

patchthecode opened this issue 7 years ago · 4 comments

Is it possible to run a shell script with this library?

I tried this -> run("/Users/Shared/.apex/temp/update.sh")

but I was getting a Terminating app due to uncaught exception
'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Couldn't posix_spawn: error 8'

I looked around on stack overflow and it seems like something with setting the launch path? -> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25559608/running-shell-script-with-nstask-causes-posix-spawn-error

I was wondering if i was missing something?

Try this: `run("sh", "/Users/Shared/.apex/temp/update.sh")` This way you make sure it is the 'sh' executable that runs the script.

Thanks so much man!
I had one last query: Is it possible to run a shell command that is separate from the app?
As in, even if the launched app closes, the spawned shell process will continue running?

I am trying to create App1 where the spawns an updaterApp. App1 will then close itself. And the updater will update its files. After updating is complete, updaterApp will then relaunch the new App1.

If it is not possible then its ok, I will try to find workarounds.

I don't know if this is possible in Swiftshell, because it launches subprocesses which are tied to the application that launched them. But I'm sure there are other ways of achieving this.
