MacExec not working?

[plantenkennis]

Hello group,

I am finally ready with a new update for my program but looking at the next problem:
I my app I have the next line:

Code: Select all  Expand view

MacExec( "/bin/sh", ResPath()+"/MoveFiles.sh", )

, but on that line the program hangs.
I f I put the next code in terminal it works correct:

Code: Select all  Expand view

/bin/sh MoveFiles.sh

The respath() is correct. Where should I look at?

René,

Please try it this way:

MacExec( "/bin/sh " + ResPath() + "/MoveFiles.sh" ) // only one parameter

Hello Antonio,

With only 1 parameter it does not work. However I will take another approach:
I used the MacExec to copy files> With the package I distribute I can put new files in folder /Users/shared/. With the 'MoveFiles.sh I move the files from Shared to ˜USER/plantenkennis.

Now I will put the new files in the .app package (Contents/Resourses/Update/) and on start of the program I check if there are files in that folder. Then I copy these files to ˜USER/plantenkennis and delete them from the .app. This way it works perfect and I have a bit more control over the files.

Thanks for all the help.
