no executesystemcommand any more?

no executesystemcommand any more?

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Ahoi,

with the latest beta I can't get my LilyPond module to work.
It seems that it's not possible to execute any command.
I tried \executesystemcommand, \write18 and the old \installprogram.
What should work?
As far as I can see, shell_escape is enabled. (And it worked before.)

Additionally I tried to replace the texmfstart call with mtxrun.
While this works:
texmfstart --ifchanged="foo-lilypond-1.tmp" --exec bin:lilypond "foo- 
lilypond-1.tmp"
this doesn't:
mtxrun --ifchanged="foo-lilypond-1.tmp" --execute lilypond "foo- 
lilypond-1.tmp"
probably because mtxrun doesn't create a md5 file.

in luat-cnf add the shell_escape line

texconfig.kpse_init = false
texconfig.shell_escape = 't'

also delete the font cache so that you will get the speedier tmc files

(recent luatex has more paranoid behaviour and it seems that we need to 
be real soon in enabling system commands)

Which file do you mean? Where should it be?

ok, deleted all caches

I don't understand?

What's the matter mit mtxrun's md5 generation?

Sorry, I searched after luat-conf, of course grep couldn't find it...
But the two lines were already there.

"texmfstart --ifchanged=foo.tmp" wrote a .md5 file for foo.tmp,  
"mtxrun --ifchanged=foo.tmp" doesn't - maybe it saves them anywhere  
else?
Since \executesystemcommand doesn't do anything, I can't check if it  
works without that file.

I don't know what has changed, but today I updated again and the  
execution and checksum stuff works again.
Thank you!

:-)

The index problem remains, though (see other thread).
