Termux and executables

[João Estudante]

Hi, 

First of all, great app, i'm in love!

I'm trying to run executables (compiled by gcc in termux).
As i can't acess Termux directorys from the shell commanfd block i moved it to the External Storage. I did some testing and was able to run "echo hi" directly on the shell command block and scripts with the same commad, but a cant seem to be able to execute the binary... "permission denied".

I saw a previous post of yours suggesting to use the start service block, but i need the stdout of the execution.

How can i do this? 
Thanks!!

Hi there. I'm no expert but I can think of 2 things here. To execute something I thought you have to "make" it executable or mark it as such, give it the permission with chmod +X or so.

The other thing is did you know there's a tasker plugin (on fdroid) that lets you execute scripts and returns all the stdout and so?

Hope this helps

Automate can't access executables "installed" by Termux, either use the Termux plug-in, or directly using the Service start block, e.g.:

• Package: com.termux
• Class: com.termux.app.RunCommandService
• Action: com.termux.RUN_COMMAND
• Extras= { "com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_PATH": "<path to script goes here>", "com.termux.RUN_COMMAND_ARGUMENTS" as StringArray: ["foo", "bar", varBaz] }
• Ensure to grant the Termux privilege in settings

Ensure to grant the Termux privilege in Automate settings.
