Hi,

If there's a problem, it should show up in the error log.

I'm probably being stupid,

don't think so :-)


but what log would that be (on either Mac or Linux)? (BTW I possibly didn't make clear that this isn't in a CGI context - this is a standalone app.)

could be catch in stderr


Some native Revolution commands that don't work (and may hang your script) are:
...
* create stack (or any file creation) - CGI permissions restriction

Does that apply even if running as an ordinary standalone, not as CGI?

You're right.
I'm using Revolution ( Metacard to be honest ) since years with -ui.
and not in a CGI context.

I'm catching some information from the outside world of Revolution and out of it can build a script, create a stack , compile it and send back the result.
No problems so far.

But, I've to admit I'm still a bit annoyed, not to say more, that there is no
doc at all for these things.... So, I'm very careful when I develop;
which means test test and test... and multiply by 3 the development time to be sure :-(

Without saying that for every new version, one have to check everything again
to be sure that it still works !!!

I've opened BZ #7620 to request actual documentation (gasp!) of command line options, and included a reference back to Mark's note as the nearest there is to RunRev documentation at present.

I'll go there and vote for it !

HTH,
Thierry
