Hello,
I am trying to run a simple shell command using OSProcess:
ExternalWindowsOSProcess command: 'taskmgr.exe'
I'm afraid it "does not work", so after evaluating this expression, no window opens and also no icon appears in the systray. If I open cmd.exe and type taskmgr.exe there, taskmgr opens.
However, the following works as expected:
ExternalWindowsOSProcess command: 'notepad.exe'
Using absolute paths did not change the behavior.
I installed the latest OSProcess version via SqueakMap. Is this a bug, or is it me? Thanks in advance!
Hi Christoph,
Support for Windows is very incomplete in OSProcess. I am not a Windows user, but I understand that the ProcessWrapper package works very well. You can find ProcessWrapper at http://www.squeaksource.com/ProcessWrapper
