Hi Rob,

Thanks for the answer. This is indeed the scenario I was looking for, only I would also like to be able to pass the image as a parameter as well.

In any case, unfortunately the Cog VM is still beta, and I need to deploy this in a production environment. So, I would need to do it with the regular closure VMs.

I forgot to mention that I am running Pharo 1.1. If I just execute:

pharo myimage.image script.st

the image gets spawned, but the whole Pharo is frozen.

Cheers,
Doru

Hi,

I cannot figure out how to open a pharo image and run some script(s)
specified from the Windows command line.

On Mac/Linux, I would do:

pharo pharo.image script.st

Can anyone tell me how to achieve that on Windows?

Hmm...I just did:

pharo test.st

and it worked, with pharo.ini as follows, since I am using a Cog image that I renamed:

[Global]
WindowTitle="Pharo"
QuitDialogLabel="Quit Pharo"
ImageFile="Pharo-1.1-11406-rc3dev10.07.2.working.image"
QuitDialogMessage="Are you sure you want to quit Pharo without saving?"
DeferUpdate=1
ShowConsole=0
DynamicConsole=1
ReduceCPUUsage=1
ReduceCPUInBackground=0
3ButtonMouse=0
1ButtonMouse=0
UseDirectSound=1
PriorityBoost=1
B3DXUsesOpenGL=1
CaseSensitiveFileMode=0

My test.st just had:

Transcript show: 'Hello'.

But it opened my image and ran the script...

Some time ago I modified the VM to allow setting the error code from within the image before exiting so you could check a return value from a batch file or vbscript, etc... It turned out I didn't need it at the time, but I've always thought that should become part of the VM. Of course, it requires a new primitive as well...

Let me know if I didn't try what you are asking...

Rob

Cheers,
Doru
