Damn not online anymore - would really need such a tool. Probably easy to build, ha? Any hints?

Thanks deanishe, that works great for me. My bash script within the workflow now looks like this: the python script is this one (just in case someone cares)

addition: even more i would like to test if the host is online first before sending the WOL packet and waiting.

Hi, i'm quite new to workflows - just have installed some ready made ones but only did a simple one myself. This simple one until now just started VLC video player with a parameter to a special Playlist-URL. I now want to extend this workflow and have it send a WOL (wake on lan) packet first, then wait X seconds (still have to test how long to wait ideally) and then start VLC and additionally call a URL in Chrome. I already have the python script to send the WOL packet and that works. Now i need to find out how to execute my VLC command. Until now i did this via the "Run script" module with /bin/bash selected as language and it looked like this: /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC http://192.168.88.200:3000/channels.m3u most probably there's a better way to do this but anyhow i need to know how to put these commands in a row with a pause in between. Can anyone tell me? Thanks! Frank

Thanks - looks like it's working good

Hi, as a frequent but not very professional alfred user i wonder which is the best way to launch an app via a custom terminal command. In this case it is a Java App that i can perfectly start from the terminal using: /usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.6.0 --exec java -Xms4G -Xmx4G -jar FTB_Launcher.jar I've already put that in a shell script which works from the terminal but if i launch the script via alfred it just opens it in the editor. What is the intended way to do that via alfred? Thanks
