I've copied the Run Shell Script function from ScriptMaster into my solution with a startup script to register the function. When I try to execute a shell script with WaitForReturn set to "true" I get:

"Executed Shell Command: <Shell script>"

Why am I not getting the output of the shell script?

Same to me!

 

 

In the example file I get the expected result by "run script", but if a register this function in the same file I get the always the function string as result - like this: 

 

Calling: "RunShellScript( "echo "google.com" | nslookup " ; 1 ; 30 )

Returns: Executed shell command: echo "google.com" | nslookup 

 

System: Latest ScriptMaster Plugin 4.134, FileMaker  Advanced 11.0v4 and(!) 12.0v3, OS X 10.8.2, Java 6 (java version "1.6.0_37")

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanx!

Have you tried executing the shell script command in the ScriptMaster sample file?  There should be no difference in the result provided the parameters are being passed in correctly.  Can you provide the command you are attempting to execute?

 

For the second post above, it looks like you are passing the wrong "waitForOutput" parameter to the function.  This parameter takes a string "true" to return the output instead of the numeric 1 you are passing.

Yes, testing this function in all my files and in your sample file, it allways returns the same result.

 

 

Calling RunShellScript( "echo "google.com" | nslookup " ; true ; 30 )

Returns Executed shell command: echo "google.com" | nslookup

It tried both 1 ant true - same result. 

 

But other functions are working fine!

I tried this locally on Mac OS X Lion and it worked fine.  Make sure the parameter "true" is enclosed in quotation marks as well.

Yes - it works! Thanx for your quick support!
