Current behaviour of run-shell-command when passing path to non-existent program as argument to it is to do nothing, just silently ignore error. I've created a new command run-shell-command-display-errors which displays error when passed argument program exits with non-zero status. This behaviour is similar to Ion window manager run command behaviour. Here is some example stumpish session that show how commands differ.
> run-shell-command test > run-shell-command-display-errors test Program exited with code 1 and has error output < empty > normal output < empty > > run-shell-command cat non-existent-file > run-shell-command-display-errors cat non-existent-file Program exited with code 1 and has error output cat: non-existent-file: No such file or directory normal output < empty > > Now in my config I replaced run-shell-command with run-shell-command-display-errors (define-key *root-map* (kbd "!") "run-shell-command-display-errors") My previous messages on other subject to this mailing list were ignored so I don't know if this one will be and don't know if people find such feature useful. If you need code please tell me. Code uses one external package (external-program). _______________________________________________ Stumpwm-devel mailing list Stumpwm-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/stumpwm-devel
