Here is my code:
NSTask *setupTask = [NSTask new];
[setupTask setLaunchPath:@"/bin/sh"];
[setupTask setArguments:[NSArray arrayWithObject:@"/applications/jarvis/brain/server.sh"]];
[setupTask setCurrentDirectoryPath:@"/"];
NSPipe *outputPipeSetup = [NSPipe pipe];
[setupTask setStandardInput:[NSPipe pipe]];
[setupTask setStandardOutput:outputPipeSetup];
[setupTask launch];
NSTask *aliceTask = [NSTask new];
[aliceTask setLaunchPath:@"/usr/bin/java"];
[aliceTask setArguments:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"-classpath", @"/applications/jarvis/brain/", @"-Xms64m", @"-Xmx128m", @"org.alicebot.server.net.AliceServer", nil]];
NSPipe *aliceInputPipe = [NSPipe pipe];
[aliceTask setStandardInput:aliceInputPipe];
NSPipe *aliceOutputPipe = [NSPipe pipe];
[aliceTask setStandardOutput:aliceOutputPipe];
[aliceTask launch];
NSMutableString *outputString = [NSMutableString string];
while ([outputString rangeOfString:@"Jarvis>"].location == NSNotFound) {
[outputString appendString:[[[NSString alloc] initWithData:[[aliceOutputPipe fileHandleForReading] readDataToEndOfFile] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease]];
}
BUT, outputString returns nothing and it get's stuck in the while loop. Here is the server.sh file:
