BTW, did u try to put the interpreter line in your script ?

Yep, it works fine invoked from the command line, but with the same result launched from an NSTask...

Le mardi, 3 dic 2002, ` 16:06 Europe/Paris, Robert Staflin a icrit :

OK, I'm using the TaskWrapper class from Apple (in the Moriarity
example). So, in my own class RoutRController I have:

...
getRouteTask=[[TaskWrapper alloc] initWithController:self
arguments:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"/usr/bin/getRoute", nil]];

// kick off the process asynchronously
[getRouteTask startProcess];
...

My shell script is called getRoute (and happens to be in /usr/bin/ at
the moment. It can be invoked with /usr/bin/getRoute of course.

startProcess is implemented in TaskWrapper with

...
task = [[NSTask alloc] init];
[task setStandardOutput: [NSPipe pipe]];
[task setStandardError: [task standardOutput]];
[task setLaunchPath: [arguments objectAtIndex:0]];
[task setArguments: [arguments subarrayWithRange: NSMakeRange (1,
([arguments count] - 1))]];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(getData:)
name: NSFileHandleReadCompletionNotification
object: [[task standardOutput] fileHandleForReading]];
[[[task standardOutput] fileHandleForReading]
readInBackgroundAndNotify];
[task launch];
...

I'm not specifying which shell to run in (i.e. bash/sh/tcsh) in the
script - there's only one line with "netstat -r" without the quotes.

Thanks for the advice about the console - beginner mistake. It gave me
info on the crash log which says:
[...]
This tells me that Thread 0 crashed when trying the NSConcreteTask
call, right? That's about the same I knew before - when my
TaskWrapper.m has done:

// launch the task asynchronously
[task launch];

...it crashes.

Anybody?

Thanks for any input!

Backing up a bit, how exactly (code!) are you constructing the task
object
and all the arguments?

Cheers,

Chris
