Re: Control From Outside
Hi Mike, In that case, sockets are indeed not the right approach. It should be possible to use a standalone as a command line utility, with parameters as I explained before. Hiding the LiveCode interface would seem more elegant to me. Maybe you can still use -u to hide the user interface altogether. You could also set the visible of your stacks to false. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Use Color Converter to convert CMYK, RGB, RAL, XYZ, H.Lab and other colour spaces. http://www.color-converter.com Buy my new book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner http://qery.us/3fi Fill out this survey please http://livecodebeginner.economy-x-talk.com/survey/ On 8/22/2013 03:57, Mike Kerner wrote: And Mark S., sorry, I wasn't ignoring you, I just didn't see your message.

Mark W. - I'm pretty sure that 4D can capture stderr. Are you saying that when LC sends output to stderr I won't be able to capture it? Mark S. - yeah, I was thinking of that.
