Hi Matthias - no open process does not work for OSX unix processes:
*Note:* On OS X systems, you can use the open process command to start up
an application, but not a Unix process. To work with a Unix process, use
the shell func instead.
These are all the things I've tried:
- *put shell ("hugo server")*
- *get shell ("nohup hugo server >&/dev/null")*
- *get shell ("screen hugo server")*
*I've tried various combinations of this in a bash script:*
#!/bin/bash
> hugo server
> wait
> echo "All processes done!"
- *get shell ("bash bg_hugo_server.sh")*
- *open* process "bash bg_hugo_server.sh"
- *launch "bg_hugo_server.sh"*
I can't get any of them to work. I tried them with versions that use
Livecodes send in time - but still no joy. Pretty sure some combination of
bash and Livecode should work - but it's not easy - any ideas?
