How do you get the current song playtime from an osascript command? I've found great resources on how to do just about anything else with iTunes and osascript on the command line b...
Hello! I want to write a wrapper bash script, and to pass all arguments to a called program. I was very sure, that this works correctly: #!/bin/sh someProgam $@ But when passing exotic arguments (empty, unescaped, in quotes, ...) this fails. For example: without the wrapper script, someProgram "1 2" 3 results in the arguments [1 2] ...

As ConsoleFx seems to be progressing too slow (bummer, it had much potential) and showing too many breaking changes every build, I decided to switch to Mono.Options for my commandline parsing needs. My OptionSet is built in the following method private static OptionSet BuildOptionSet() { OptionSet optionSet = new OptionSet() ...

I'd like my console app to use hyphen-named inputs, like so: myApp -S "myServerName" -D "myDatabaseName" instead of the usual: myApp "myServerName" "myDatabaseName" I think the first is more friendly to developers that want to use my console app down the road. I think that I don't know what this type of input is called, else I wo...
