<p>Hi,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thank you for all the interesting links, most of all to the SqueakShell! It is really cool, but however, it actually does not solve my corner.</p>

<div>> Could you elaborate on your use case? Is this simply to be able to write interactive cmd scripts in Squeak? </div>
<p></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Exactly. If you run a simple script such as [<span>HelpIcons squeakIcon writeOnFileNamed: 'testicon.png'] in headless mode and testicon.png already exists, the execution will be halted and the VM is waiting for a user interaction that will never happen.
It would be much nicer to get a prompt via stdout + stdin to answer.</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p>And even if the VM is run in a read-only shell, you would at least know <i>why</i> it does not continue to execute. For example, this would be helpful on smalltalkCI - if you had not caught all ProvideAnswerNotifications in your tests, you would basically
have no hint why you get a timeout.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I know Squeak is primarily made for use in a VM window, but nonetheless, I would love to have an implementation similar to
<a class="x_OWAAutoLink" href="https://github.com/StephanEggermont/pharo/blob/development/src/UIManager/CommandLineUIManager.class.st#L104">
this one for Pharo</a> in Squeak.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Christoph</p>

We discussed some stuff around this topic back in May '19 relating to "Running Squeak fro ma unix shell script file with #! squeak..." (including the spilling mistook).<br>
<br>
And don't forget CommandShell (<a href="http://map.squeak.org/package/2c3b916b-75e2-455b-b25d-eba1bbc94b84">http://map.squeak.org/package/2c3b916b-75e2-455b-b25d-eba1bbc94b84</a>), OSProcess (<a href="http://map.squeak.org/package/812c9d14-5236-4cad-82ea-cc3e3837e30d">http://map.squeak.org/package/812c9d14-5236-4cad-82ea-cc3e3837e30d</a>),
and Eliot's simple exemplar REPL thing (<a href=""></a>https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/image/LoadReader.st &
<a href="https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/image/StartReader.st">
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/blob/Cog/image/StartReader.st</a>)<br>
<br>
I also see that <a href="http://www.squeaksource.com/@azqxWT7-o5bjyYS2/vd0deS9q">
http://www.squeaksource.com/@azqxWT7-o5bjyYS2/vd0deS9q</a> claims to include a REPL package (never tried it, see also
<a href="http://gulik.pbworks.com/w/page/7760030/REPLServer">http://gulik.pbworks.com/w/page/7760030/REPLServer</a>)<br>
<br>
And I'm sure Craig has done something related but I simply cannot get google to find it right now<br>
