Another day, another part of Switch I know nothing about!

I have a Script saved down appropriately with the following :

#!/bin/bash
growlnotify -H 192.168.XXX.XX -t "Notice" -m "COMPLETE" -P password

Which runs perfectly if called in Terminal. But how do I get the Switch 'Exectue Command' to set it in motion? I'm failing hard on this one

Any pointers gratefully recieved

Command or path :

Fail if stdout contains :
Fail if stderr contains :

How are you setting up the Execute command, and which error are you getting?

You may need to fix the path to the script, or point Execute command to bash with the script as parameter (I think it's the -c option for bash).

I've had the below in the 'Command or path' section :
In the layout as here :
But it doesn't trigger anything to run.

Sometimes Switch throws up this error :

Message: Job failed because outcode is nonzero, outcode = [127]

If you don't care about the return code, you can choose t simply ignore it. Otherwise you can set the error code to be ≠ from 127 so this code deosn't raise an error.

I've managed to ignore the error.

But not invoke the Script!

Hi Captain,

Please check the following link:

Probably adding the path where the application is located, this will resolve the problem.
Let us know if this was helpful!

Thanks for that link. Not entirely sure whether I've done exactly what your guide stated but here's how I found a 'solution'. This is FAR from elegant, and I'm hoping somebody picks it apart and explains why I've had to run one script, to then run another!

However, it does mean that I can use Switch to produce executable .TXT files with Variables on a whim without changing the original 'Action' Script.

The Execute Command has been set up :

Fail If stderr contains :
