Execute Script not working

[danco]

I know that Execute Script used to work for me, but recently it fails. It sees the script I want to run, says it is running the script, but nothing happens on my computer.

I've tested the script running it on my computer (and even created another script for testing), and there's nothing wrong with the shell scripts.

Mac OS 10.4.7, SlimServer 6.3.1, and the current Execute Script (1.7).

I'm not sure when it stopped working, presumably at one of the upgrades of either SlimServer or Mac OS.

Any ideas, or advice on what switches to use for debugging, would be welcome.

right after it says it's running, the plugin makes a system call to run
the script.
there is nothing to debug there. check that the slimserver user has
permission to run the script, try running slimserver manually in
terminal so that you might see any shell messages that come back from
trying to run the script, etc.

I'll see if I can add some trapping of any errors that come back from
the system call.

What's weird is that it definitely wasn't working, and now it is.

I stopped SlimServer, ran it from Terminal, found it was ok, quit Terminal, stopped SlimServer from the preference pane snd started it again from the preference pane, and now it works fine.

I'll report further if the glitch comes back. I think it's posssible that I just wasn't waiting long enough - my script sent the computer to sleep and perhaps thinking it had not worked and pressing another button stopped it working.
