https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24720112/mit-scheme-run-a-script-and-exit which boils down to: $ mit-scheme --quiet --load program.scm --eval '(exit)' For shelling out, or running subprocesses, this program worked as you requested: file:program.scm starts 8< ----------------------------------------------------------- (load-option 'synchronous-subprocess) (display (with-string-output-port (lambda (port) (run-shell-command "ls" 'output port)))) 8< ----------------------------------------------------------- end-of-file Here are the docs that helped: https://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/documentation/stable/mit-scheme-ref/Subprocesses.html https://www.gnu.org/software/mit-scheme/documentation/stable/mit-scheme-ref/Subprocess-Options.html On Thu, Apr 14, 2022 at 8:41 PM Jinsong Liang <jinsongli...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I am new to mit-scheme and I am not a scheme expert either.
