Mark, Thanks! Here’s the script I created based upon your example. This is a stack with one card and on the card is a field “counter”. I put “0” into the field to seed it. When the stack file is opened, it launches LiveCode and does the preOpenStack and the send in seconds causes the stack to

Thanks Mark (and Matthias). That's very useful info which I'll stash for another time. In this case I really don't want to use the LC code over HTTP. It is purely a utility to run locally on this machine at scheduled intervals, in support of some other processes. For several reasons it

Mark that is interesting. I would like to something similar during the Learning Cohort coding sprint over the next 12 weeks. I’d be happy to write up documentation and create a community GitHub project around that approach including Nginx config etc?

One more thought came to mind. You should run the executable in the background by applying an & as in this example: ./yourCoolExecutable -ui & If you run the executable from terminal and you do not apply the & the executable will die as terminal quits. Best regards, Mark Talluto

Hi Ben, My favorite method is to build server code with standalones and script only stacks. You can run them headless using the -ui method as you proposed earlier. You can have the standalone act as a starter stack that loads in your script only stacks as libraries. This model makes it easy to

Hi Ben, Livecode Server can only execute Livecode script files, but it can make use of stackfiles if you want to use the stack as a library for example. I am sorry, if i cannot explain it more detailed. Ask me in German and i could tell you what i really mean. ;) But good example is this page

Hi Matthias, Thanks for answering. I haven't looked into Livecode Server. When you say I could run livecode scripts directly from shell, does that means scripts, but not stacks? Is Livecode Server easier to install on a 'headless' system? Is there somewhere I should look to find explanation

Ben, is there a reason why you do not install/use Livecode Server instead of Livecode IDE on your system? You could run livecode scripts directly from shell. Regards, Matthias - Matthias Rebbe Life Is Too Short For Boring Code > Am 29.01.2021 um 19:44 schrieb Ben Rubinstein via
