[SOLVED]Script not running?

I'm sure this is simple.

I have an executable script (see below) that works perfectly if I execute it via the command line (OSX's Terminal).

However, I have an Indigo server Action that is supposed to run the script, but it doesn't ...

Any ideas on why the Indigo server would fail to execute a script that I can manually execute just fine?

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env node

var needleClient = require('needle'),
   indigoAuth = { username: 'user', password: 'pass', auth: 'digest' };
   
function setVariable(variable, value, callback){
   needleClient.put('http://127.0.0.1:8176/variables/'+ variable, 'value='+ String(value), indigoAuth, callback);
};

setVariable('alarmArmed', 'true', function(err, resp) { if(err){ console.log(err); } });

Likely because node isn't in the path. The IndigoServer and the script host processes don't get the environment that a shell process does when you start it up from a terminal (because those processes run your .profile, .bash_rc, etc). So, basically, this:

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env node

is failing because node isn't found in the standard environment. Instead, point it directly at the node command:

Code: Select all

#!/path/to/node

and I believe it will work.

Added node to $PATH and changed to:

Code: Select all

 #!/usr/local/bin/node

Works -- thank you!
