OSProcess is partially implemented on Windows, but the required plugin is not normally distributed with Windows VMs. That is the reason for "WindowsProcess with pid nil". The WindowsProcess object is a proxy for the external Windows process, and the pid is nil because the actual process could not be started (because of the missing plugin). http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/708 Dave On Thu, May 13, 2010 at 12:28:14AM +0200, Tudor Girba wrote:
Hi,
As far as I know, OSProcess does not work on Windows.
Cheers, Doru

Installation worked well. Something is still missing (docs for sure!) when I type "OSProcess thisOSProcess" and evaluate/print it it says "a WindowsProcess with pid nil".
2010/5/12 Mariano Martinez Peck <marianopeck@gmail.com> It seems the wiki is outdated. Please try this to install it:
Gofer new squeaksource: 'Coral'; package: 'LoadCoral'; load.
(Smalltalk at: #CoralLoader) load.
DISCLAIMER: I have no idea of it is working or not. It just load. And I am not even sure if loads completely correct
Cheers

2010/5/12 Andrei Stebakov <lispercat@gmail.com> Right, I just didn't get it on the first read...
2010/5/12 Gabriel Brunstein <gaboto@gmail.com> As I read there, Coral IS A PACKAGE FOR PHARO! so you would not be using another tool. I don't know which is the state of Coral, if it works or not (based on the previous mail of Stephane)
2010/5/12 Andrei Stebakov <lispercat@gmail.com> Thank you, I'll give it a try. See, maybe my philosophy is wrong, but I'd rather get better at one tool (where it's possible) than learn multiple different tools to do similar tasks. I think Pharo has a potential to be if not a Swiss army knife like Python, but a very useful language for any programming tasks (scripting is one of them). So far, as a newbie, I like what I see in Pharo and having a blast learning it. I am so thrilled, that just a thought that it could do scripting sends shivers down my spine :)

What about coral? http://scg.unibe.ch/wiki/projects/bachelorsprojects/coral
2010/5/12 Andrei Stebakov <lispercat@gmail.com> Is it possible to start Pharo headless and execute some command (say to get some info from a web page)?
