Monte,
If I enter the following line in the terminal (on Mac) it properly registers
the Bonjour service:
dns-sd -R "Play the Game" _playbodd._tcp . 45567 path=/game
Note that the terminal does not give the cursor back but does register the
service. I have to control-z.
If I enter the following line in the LiveCode Message Box it also properly
returns information like it does in the terminal
shell("dns-sd")
> dns-sd -E (Enumerate recommended registration domains)
> dns-sd -F (Enumerate recommended browsing domains)
> dns-sd -R <Name> <Type> <Domain> <Port> [<TXT>...] (Register a service)
> dns-sd -B <Type> <Domain> (Browse for services instances)
> dns-sd -L <Name> <Type> <Domain> (Look up a service instance)
> dns-sd -P <Name> <Type> <Domain> <Port> <Host> <IP> [<TXT>...] (Proxy)
> dns-sd -q <name> <rrtype> <rrclass> (Generic query for any record type)
> dns-sd -Z <Type> <Domain> (Output results in Zone File format)
> dns-sd -G v4/v6/v4v6 <name> (Get address information for hostname)
> dns-sd -V (Get version of currently running daemon / system service)
If I enter the following line in the LiveCode Message Box it returns an error.
shell("dns-sd -R "Play the Game" _playbodd._tcp . 45567 path=/game")
> Message execution error:
> Error description: Handler: can't find handler
> Hint: shell("dns-sd
1. How can I get LiveCode to enter the complete shell command?
2. How can I get LiveCode to not lock up after the command is entered?
3. Once I am successful at registering the Bonjour service how can I stop the
service? I don't see an entry in the dns-sd man page.
