The equivalent of running in a Terminal is to run it in a shell. Try the
following code:
OSSUnixSubprocess new
command: '/bin/bash';
arguments: #('-c' 'ls /');
redirectStdout;
runAndWaitOnExitDo: [ :process :outString |
outString inspect
].
OSSUnixSubprocess new
command: '/bin/bash';
arguments: #('-c' 'ls / | grep bin');
redirectStdout;
runAndWaitOnExitDo: [ :process :outString |
outString inspect
].
You’ll need to be careful to properly shell escape the shell command
arguments if they are not hard coded (especially things like file names
from users). HTH. —Yanni
