Script

script

The script library makes it easy to execute system scripts from a remote.

local script = libs.script;

All script functions accept one or more lines to make it easy to write longer scripts.

output = script.apple(
	"tell application \"Spotify\"",
		"set out to player state",
	"end tell"
);

The script functions return 3 values:

out,err,res = script.default(...);

You can easily execute scripts from file using the fs library:

local src = libs.fs.read("foo.bat");
script.batch(src);

Execute a Windows Batch script.

cd = script.batch("echo %cd%");

Execute a Windows PowerShell script.

process_list = script.powershell(
	"ps | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq \"svchost\" }"
);

Execute an AppleScript.

path = script.apple("set out to (path to me)");

Execute a shell script using the default interpreter (typically sh).

foo = script.shell("echo $PWD");

You can specify a different interpreter with a shebang line:

foo = script.shell(
	"#!/bin/bash",
	"echo $PWD"
);

Note that on Windows the shell function creates a Batch file.

foo = script.shell("echo %USERNAME%");

Execute the default script depending on platform.
