I don't understand who you might be however certainly you're going to a well-known blogger in the event you are not already ;) Cheers!

My application is using a CLI API for a 3rd party product and thus is making quick CLI calls back and forth in rapid succession. I needed a good way to do synchronous calls much like I would do in a shell script or perl inside of a loop and your class works perfectly for my needs. I know it has been 5 years since you wrote it, but it is still very useful. Your ShellTask class has made a project I’m doing so much simpler and I thank you greatly for it.

I've also noticed a huge craze in Facebook quotes, there were a few sites that would get millions of likes just on a single quote. Great post!

This is getting off topic but I'd like to run some sqlite commands. After executing folder change commands in the .sh file, these commands execute: sqlite3 myDB.sqlite .import dbArea.txt Area When I run the .sh file from Terminal, I'm at an sqlite prompt. The import command doesn't execute. Any ideas what's going on? Thanks. This is getting off topic but I’d like to run some sqlite commands.

Once you have added the script, MyScript.sh, to your Xcode project, you can have the shell run it like: NSString *pathToMyScript = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"MyScript" ofType:@"sh"]; [[NSTask launchedTaskWithLaunchPath:@"/bin/sh" arguments:[NSArray arrayWithObject:pathToMyScript]] waitUntilExit]; What I would suggest doing is putting those dependent shell commands together in their own shell script, and then executing the shell script.

This is great! Is there a way to execute several commands within the same Terminal session? I'm calling executeShellCommandSynchronously multiple times to traverse folders and and retreive contents of a file: cd / cd Users/theuser/Thefolder vi somefile.txt The problem is that each command executes in its own Terminal session. So the second command gives a folder not found because I'm still in the build/debug folder. Any suggestions? Thanks. Thanks. This is great!
