Hi
Does anyone have the experiance about how to call .sh executable program of Linux from Jade?
I know I can use call _shellExecute to call external Windows executable program. But how about call Linux .sh executable program?

Many Thanks
Scott

Hi,
You use Node::createExternalProcess. It works on both Windows and Linux.

For example

returnVal := node.createExternalProcess("", scriptName, null, null, false, true, result);

will run a script on the Linux server with no parameters modally and the exit value of the script will be in the result variable. node will have to be referencing the Linux box you want to run the script on, either an appserver or a db server node. I would guess (but am not sure) that in JADE 6.1 you could also use this method to run a script on a Linux client by setting parameter 5 above to true.

The usual PATH rules apply so that a script not in any of the directories in the PATH shell variable will have to be referred to as ./scriptName etc.

Cheers, Brendan

You'll possibly have to execute the interpreter directly, so instead of running "script.sh" you may need to execute "/bin/sh script.sh".

No, /bin/sh isn't necessary. Just the normal PATH rules need to be followed.
