Run Shell Script

Hi all,

I would like to run a shell (.sh) script when Indigo starts.
I created the script and placed it on the Desktop and with "ls" I get:

/Users/homeautomation/Desktop/node-red.sh

But if I try to run, Indigo returns:

Action Group Node-Red
Action Collection Error Run Shell Script action: script file doesn't exist: /Users/homeautomation/Desktop/node-red.sh

Could be a couple things.

First, you need to make sure that you have the appropriate shebang line at the top of the script. AFAIK, this is required in order to do step 2. I.e.,

Code: Select all

#!/bin/zsh
#!/bin/bash

Second, you need to make sure that your shell script is set to Executable. Do this:

Code: Select all

chmod u+x YourScriptFileName.sh

If it still doesn't work, check the permissions to ensure that Indigo has read access to the file.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/zsh

echo "Hello world."
