Claws: "Tools | Actions" query
 

Using Claws 2.9.2 (on PCLOS) I want to "run in terminal" an interactive .sh script but the Tools|Actions function appears to run non-interactively. Any clues anybody please?

Please provide more detailed information.
What are you actually trying to do? What is the commandline of the Action you have configured?

I need more clues from you before I can answer.

Your inquiry is really appreciated. Thank you for the interest.

The script firstly transfers inward mails to another user and then offers the option (y/n) to file mails in correctly chosen files in an archive folder. The script "more or less" works OK but is at this stage still a bit "botchy". The "Action" I would like interactive is such sequence of commands as this:

read X
if test "$X" = 1; then
...
fi

What I was hoping Claws would allow and thus far seems not to do so, is a "run in terminal" option so that the terminal pops up while the commands run. This "run in terminal" is an option for example in the PCLOS menu system.

If you can shed any clue it would be appreciated.

Can you show me your configured Action, and the whole script? You can send it to me at paul-at-claws.mail.org if you want.

Will do - and much appreciated.

Thank you twb. Your solution, using...
xterm -e command parameters
worked just fine.
Much appreciated.
