Title: MC launcher program?
Post by: MrC on December 14, 2013, 09:15:51 pm

I don't see the MC launcher program (like Windows' mc19.exe).  How are command line options and MCC commands sent in this Mac version?

For my needs tonight, I used MCWS to send an MCC command.  Still the question/need remains...

Its been a while since I had a mac so I might not remember exactly.

I think the applications that you see as a single package are actually folders. I think you can navigate in them from the command line? So somewhere inside is the actual binary you use.

Thanks.  I had looked in the bundle, but only see the main executable.

Did you find out how to achieve this? I am thinking about writing an external control program, but need to be able to do this to get started!

I only needed the "launcher" program to send an MCC command.  So I used the MCWS service to do this, which I was using anyway to send other MCWS commands.  You can use many languages to do this (I happened to be using Perl), but you could also use curl or wget to send an MCWS/MCC command.
