solved [SOLVED] Run a terminal command in background

[cullenskink]

Fundamentally I am looking to do what I can do with Action:Terminal command  (eg run scripts with my normal login environment) in the way that Action:Run script executes in the background without grabbing focus or dumping commands into my existing terminal.    

 

Can anyone help with this?

You need to source your shell's configuration files from your script then. You may also need to start a shell yourself in interactive mode or edit your config files so the necessary bits are also loaded in non-interactive mode.

That is the bomb.  

 

If anyone else is looking for details, I have included the contents of my "Actions|Run script"  here. I use Zsh.  

 

source ~/.zshrc

#echo $HOME

pbpaste | marked | pbcopy
echo "converted"

 

#end of script  

 

The pbpaste...  converts plain text to markup, which is something I do a lot of.   So anyone else just needs to put their bit where that line is.  

 

Thanks deanishe
