pharo-vm-nox command line

by Bernat Romagosa

Hi list, Is there a way to issue commands to an image via pharo-vm-nox on a headless server and not have it stop immediately after running them? This keeps the image running, but the command is not sent to it: *pharo-vm-nox StarUOCs.image --no-quit eval "Transcript show: 'hi'"* This is working, but the image quits after the command is run: *pharo-vm-nox StarUOCs.image eval "Transcript show: 'hi'"* Thanks! Bernat. -- Bernat Romagosa.

Yes right! Once I am motivated enough I will make another snapshot release. In the meantime, I recorded it in a ticket https://bugs.launchpad.net/istoa/+bug/1315110 If you find anything else, please fill a ticket at the same place http://launchpad.net/istoa, it will be easier for me to look at it.

sweet! Esteban I would put a brighter/warmer color (like shining orange?) for self because it is an important key. Then I loved the light blue scrollbars so may be they work in the dark theme.
