i have been "trying" to use shell... works OK in linux but in osx it just crashes.
i am just wondering if this thread went anywhere:
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2009-01/067700.html
i have it in a bunch of patches now and would love to use it more ... if it had more cross-compatibility (osx) because i tend to work with others + other os's.
maybe i should just change to pdlua as frank suggested? or might shell someday get fixed?
not sure what to do....
what are the symptoms of the crashes? does pd just quit with a segfault, or does [shell] makes pd hang?
it's been a while, since i used [shell] the last time, but i remember, that i could always make it work with what i wanted, it was just a matter of writing the script in a way, so that it immediately exits or detaches the running processes to the background. commands, that do not exit, will make [shell] block pd. all this only applies, if you experience hangs, but not segfaults, of course.
