How to run bash script from Hammerspoon?

[Brad Parks]

Hey! I'd like to be able to run an arbitrary bash script from Hammerspoon.

I tried using hs.application.launchOrFocus, but it didnt seem to work.

Any suggestions?

I can of course make something work I think by building an .app that accepts a string argument, but wanted to see if there's something in Hammerspoon to do it without going outside it's api.

Thanks,

Brad

Ahh... found the answer - I can run an arbitrary shell script using the following:

  result = hs.applescript('do shell script "my shell script here"')

Thanks!

Hello Brad,

that’s a bit of a roundabout way! I suggest looking at hs.execute and hs.task.
