hi, again something where i am stuck ...

i am trying to get a simple bash script to run on OS X using ggee's shell object.

unfortunately, when sending it the corresponding message, [shell] doesn't seem to do anything. while simple commands like "ls" etc. work and output a result (out the left outlet), i can't seem to be able to run a (executable) .sh file that runs nicely when called from a terminal.

what's more:

even a simple output redirecting command like

ls -la > ./output.txt

doesn't do anything apart from sending "1" out the right outlet.

hmm, redirection is actually *not* the simplest test case. and getting a 1 indicates a problem.

you probably should check the terminal for errors (the help-patch erroneously speaks of the "Pd console"; back in the days when [shell] was written, the Pd console was indeed the terminal window.)

also, you and [shell] might have different opinions about what the current directory ("./") means. try using full paths.

[/Users/oliver/Documents/Scripts/runme.sh(

[ls -la > /tmp/output.txt(

can anybody help or is there another way to run shell scripts from within PD on OSX ?

i don't know anything about OSX, but my advice should be generic enough...
