So my script runs now, but even with -headless it displays the Squeak splash screen and the VM never exits. I have to manually kill the process. Is there something I should do at the end of my script to make it exit? It seems like with -headless it should always exit when it reaches the end of the script.
Just add this to the end of your script: SmalltalkImage current snapshot: false andQuit: true.
That does a lot of stuff! However, one thing it didn't do for me ... under Windows ... is quit.
Or, if you want more of a brute force exit, you can use this: SmalltalkImage current quitPrimitive.
This does work though!
While you are at it, take a few minutes to read the #snapshot:andQuit:embedded method. This is where the magic occurs that permits you to save an image and restart it exactly where you left off. Interesting and well worth reading.
Thanks!
