Thanks for everyones help on this. I am getting closer. But I am still not
able to get all the way there.
My end goal is a server application that can run without a user logged in to
the machine. The server application should be able to handle requests ether
over HTTP or just plain sockets.

I just stumbled on something that would make me sad.
It seems that maybe command line mode has been removed in anything after
version 4. Id this is true then I think it is very sad.
Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks very much for your response, but I don't think that is actually doing
anything other than starting the application using the OS. It is just as if

Ah,
now i understand. You are right, command line mode was possible up to version
3.5.
If you need command line mode and if you have an active maintenance, why not
asking supp...@runrev.com
for a key for v 3.5? I am pretty sure they will help.

Hi Todd,
It looks as if you have to program your app to respond according to what values
any such variable(s) contain,
such as
'if $1 is true then doSomeThing'
It looks af it will take some craft in order
Does anybody know if the old engine allowed you to build a standalone that
could be started with no UI and stay running in the background?

The old engine used to be able to execute scripts. That is, you could
invoke the engine using something like this:
#!/path/to/engine
on startup
put hello
end startup
IIRC this functionality was removed at the time that the on-rev
product was launched. Perhaps the functionality was
I used an old engine to run a Linux server process a while ago. It
required Xvfb (virtual frame buffer) to be running so the engine had a
display to write to. I think that's as close as faceless as you can get
with LC - I'll try and dig out the version I was using and get you some
more info

Well, the -h argument is used by the engine, so that's just wrong.
However...
Not only is this *not* just leftover cruft, but I have applications
that *rely* on passing and parsing
thanks Mark
I was able to get the terminal commands to work although you need to
reference the engine inside the OSX package. So I had to type the following
at the terminal
/Applications/LiveCode\ 4.6.app/Contents/MacOS/LiveCode -h
The same also works for standalones. You have to reference the

Best I can tell, Todd just wants to be able to launch a LC executable

I believe this can be avoided by setting a key value in the .plist file inside
the app bundle. I think you'll
find this info with a google search.
Good luck!
