I don't know what you mean. On Linux it works the same like on Windows.

how to handle I/O.

Create a CommandButton called "Command1" and a RichTextBox called "RichTextBox1". Then this code works for Linux. It readss the hosts file and outputs it in the RichTextBox:

  RichTextBox1.Text = mvFH.readAll
  mvFH.close
End Sub

On Windows (and Linux) you can also start Java-Programs:

Jabaco Source

 
1

Shell ("java -jar C:\Programme\Java\jdk1.7.0_07\demo\jfc\SwingSet2\SwingSet2.jar")


Quoted from "pandapipino"

how can I open a .sh file?
What does the .sh file do?

Starts it a program with a window and so on?
Then you can write

Jabaco Source

 
1

Shell ("/bin/bash /home/panda/myapp/start.sh")

Gives it something out in commandline?
Then your program will be something bigger.

Thanks for your effort for replying my post, I really appreciate it.

Unfortunately it still doesn't work, I've tried all your examples its just that there were no errors but it still does not execute my .sh

my .sh file has this command inside:

Quoted

#!/bin/sh
python start.py
That code should launch a terminal window and execute my python script. Also my script works when typed manually in a terminal window.

I was also looking in my System Monitor to check if it was running in the background but no luck. It really does not execute it.

Opening a terminal window works with this code, but I don't know a way how to type a command on it:

Quoted

Shell "/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator"
Typing:
Shell "usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator mycommand" does not work also.
Shell "usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator" & mycommand does not work too.

I hope you can help me more with this problem...

Thanks!

Haven't much time at the moment.

But

my .sh file has this command inside:

#!/bin/sh
python start.py

If it only starts python with a script, have you then tried out to start it direct in Jabaco?

Shell ("python start.py")

PS: If the python-programs gives something out on commandline, you have again to use the extended version:

Dim input As java#io#InputStream
input = p.getInputStream

Dim data As Integer = input.read

While data <> -1
   Dim cdata As java#lang#Character
   cdata = Cast(data, java#lang#Character)      
   System.out.print(cdata)
   data = input.read

input.close
p.destroy


Or if you start your Jabaco-program from an file-manager like Konquerer, Nautilus, Dolphin or something else, then try the following, to see the commandline-output in an message-box:

Yeah tried that also, no errors but it still does not execute any programs. I've tried many bunch of codes for shell but I'm also really out of ideas right now.
