Hello,

is there any command to test for write18/shell escape available in ConTeXt?


In one of the LaTeX packages I saw:

\newif\ifShellEscape
...
\ifShellEscape
   \def\tmpfile{/tmp/w18-test-\the\year\the\month\the\day\the\time}
   \ifmiktex
      \immediate\write18{rem >"\tmpfile"}
   \else
      \immediate\write18{touch \tmpfile}
   \fi
   \ifmiktex
      \IfFileExists{\tmpfile.}{\ShellEscapetrue}{\ShellEscapefalse}
   \else
      \IfFileExists{\tmpfile}{\ShellEscapetrue}{\ShellEscapefalse}
   \fi
\fi

Thanks a lot,
    Mojca
