Cool that actually works! Thank you very much. I have rerouted the
logging stuff wget outputs to /dev/null, as I'm really not interested
in that:
Code in button:
on mouseUp
launch "path/to/script/file" with "sh"
end mouseUp
Code in script file:
#!/bin/sh
wget -P/path/to/folder http://url.written.wrongly.on.purpouse.by.bjoernke.com
> /dev/null
Have Fun

Hi Bjoernke,
If you do not want to pass through the shell() command with
Revolution, you can use this trick that I am using.
Rev create a shellscript file in a temporary folder.
Your shellscript write results of your command in another file.
Example:
#!/bin/sh
wget -P/path/to/folder http://url.written.wrongly.on.purpouse.by.bjoernke.com
> myfile.txt
Use the launch command to launch the shellscript (personnaly in
order to stay compatible with all Unix operating system, I use /bin/
sh).
After, your rev app check every few seconds the content of myfile.txt.
And you can monitor everything that you want with that.
Note: I think that this work, I will try that once my Linux booted.
(I developp on Windows).
Regards,
Damien

Hi
On linux with the latest rc of 2.9, I am trying to get an url
asynchronous into a file, as to not reduce interactivity of my rev
stack. However I am unable to find a solution, without running a
second rev program, because shell behaves so strangely different in
Rev then in the terminal. My problem is that Rev always waits for
wget, no matter how I try to trick it. All my trials and successful
running tests in terminal didn't help me.
The script I use is this (I used a wrong url because that results
in longer wait times for wget):
wget -q -P/path/to/folder http://url.written.wrongly.on.purpouse.by.bjoernke.com
&
-q no live logging to the terminal
-P custom path to save file under
& run command without waiting, return null immediately
In terminal I noticed that the program does terminate immediately,
but sometimes output stuff, of which I know that Rev has problems
with. I presume these where information about the subtask spawned
by "&". Example:
[1] 24800
So i put the string into a file, which i then called:
bash downloadfile
this did return immediately in the terminal, and didn't return
anything. Unfortunately, Rev still doesn't return control
immediately.
I hate shell commands :(
