Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting not waiting...why? Post 302258402 by mainegate on Friday 14th of November 2008 12:39:26 PM
Old 11-14-2008
I have simplified it to just open the file after conversion. I think the problem is the script thinks it is done when the file is created like 30 seconds into encoding or so. However, the file is not 100% complete. In the script below the QT player never opens.

I'm not sure what to do next...any suggestions?

HTML Code:
#! /bin/sh
exec > /tmp/keith 2>&1
set -x
date

/Applications/Compressor.app/Contents/MacOS/./Compressor \
	-clustername 'This Computer' \
	-batchname 'FLV-480X360' \
	-priority low -jobpath "$1" \
	-settingpath '/Users/keith/Library/Application Support/Compressor/FLV - 480 X 360.setting' \
	-destinationpath "$2" &&
wait

if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
	  open -a /Applications/QuickTime\ Player.app "$2"
fi

This is my log file:

NAME

       Image::ExifTool::Flash - Read Shockwave Flash meta information

SYNOPSIS

       This module is used by Image::ExifTool

DESCRIPTION

       This module contains definitions required by Image::ExifTool to read SWF (Shockwave Flash) and FLV (Flash Video) files.

NOTES

       Flash Video AMF3 support has not yet been added because I haven't yet found a FLV file containing AMF3 information.  If someone sends me a
       sample then I will add AMF3 support.
