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.

yeah its really weird....
i get:
"the application pd quit unexpectedly"
then i can ignore or relaunch...
either choice PD still runs in the background. the "ignore" or "relaunch" seems to be only a nag screen that does not do anything... but at the same time creates the situation that make PD unusable...
anyone else with he same?
maybe its leopard thing?

oh... and PD does not quit. even if i hit "relaunch" or "ignore" or even if i just try to quit in general....
i have to "force quit"
and this has been like this for a little while on differnt systems.. at least at the leopard level. not sure about tiger/ppc/intel - not sure if that all made a difference....

r u saying this might be a normal thing for pd-extended? for the most part no (actually on ubuntu 8.10 pd-extended recently i have to xkill fairly often?) on osx... but sometimes, more rarely, yes.
not sure what you are asking though... is this a general problem or an issue related to [shell] still?

No, it is not normal that Pd-extended crash ;) But it occurs
sometimes. And in this case, if 'Pd-entended' crash and 'pd' is
launched, you'd better to force to quit 'pd' before to relaunch 'Pd-
extended'.

This is not related to [shell], only a general behaviour. ++

Here, on 10.5.6(intel) [shell] crashes too.. But [popen] is working just fine... (what's the difference?) the [shell] crash happens simultaneously with the right outlet bang...
