I want to run the magma tester, which is much easier if OS Process is around. It doesn't seem to be in the image or Monticello, and I think it is only available from SqueakMap.
OSProcess and CommandShell (formerly part of OSProcess until I split it) are both on SqueakSource. For Pharo, I recommend that you load the latest versions from SqueakSource rather than from SqueakMap (I made a fix just yesterday that is important for Pharo users). Be sure to get the unit tests also, they are a good source of examples.
I have not tested on the latest Pharo, but I did notice one test failure for OSProcess the last time I checked. It was something involving coordinating lots of (Smalltalk) processes. One of the CommandShell tests was not running to completion either, probably for the same reason. I'm not sure if it is still a problem on the latest Pharo or not (sorry, I have not had time to track it down yet).
Also, CommandShell will not show up in the menus on Pharo, so you will need to evaluate "CommandShell open" to start a shell.
What's the best way to get OSProcess into the image? Is it already there? Not compatible?
It should not be necessary to add it to the image. I always intended for OSProcess to be an external package, and it should be easy enough to load for anyone who wants to use it.
