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 d

Superb, thank you Matthias. Apologies not having RTFM'd properly myself.

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 would
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.

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 d
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.

So I want to install LC on a headless - i.e. no GUI, access over SSH - Ubuntu
20.
(Then I'll be using it to run a particular stack on a cron job.)
I've done this a long time ago with a standalone - but in this case I'd rather
be able to do it with a stack.
The only thing that I know about is
