Hi Jordan,

The way you proceeded looks ok to me. Some questions:

1. Did you run any operations in parallel while the script was running (such as checking the progress of the script via the GUI or another CLI instance)? 2. Does the problem always occur after the same ADD operation in your script? 3. Does it work if you create a new database instead of opening an existing one?…

CREATE DB exists ADD /Users/user/Desktop/O-Lab/Examples/cubesat/BINARIES/BINARY-03abaa7c-18fd-40a4-a26b-4be24089cfe4 ...

Thanks in advance Christian

Hello BaseX Staff,

I am a developer who is new to BaseX and am getting stuck sending commands through the basex executable. My goal is to either open the CLI executable and send a command (through a script), or send the command without the basex CLI opening, as long as the command is run. In my recent attempt that I thought was close, I received the following error message:

users-MacBook-Pro:Scripts user$ /Users/user/Downloads/basex/bin/basex -c/Users/user/Desktop/O-Lab/Examples/Scripts/commands.bsx

Improper use? Potential bug? Your feedback is welcome:

The command file I am trying to have basex accept looks like this:

OPEN exists

ADD /Users/user/Desktop/O-Lab/Examples/cubesat/BINARIES/BINARY-03abaa7c-18fd-40a4-a26b-4be24089cfe4

With many more "ADD ..." commands to follow.

Any advice on how to perform this operation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jordan Castillo
