What's the difference between background and foreground commands?

Hi, any solution to run background commands in mac os?
-
@Adrián-González-Camacho, not yet. I didn't think many Mac users would want to use it. Do you want this feature so you can run commands while you're not logged on? Just curious what your use-case is.
-
@Russ I want to use my mac as a server and launch home automation commands
-
@adriangcamacho, I see. I assume you don't want to leave it logged in?
I'll have to research again how to create services that startup at boot time on a Mac.
-
@Russ Yep, thank you a lot for your time.
If you need some help i think i could help you i'm backend developer. -
I'd also like to use my mac as an automation server and it would be easier to not have to be logged in permanently. Thanks @Russ !
-
@TuneyLunes, I haven't built this into the Mac agent yet, so for now you can use this method to setup the background agent on a Mac.
-
@Russ Could you give me an example of a command to run a script?
-
@Alê-滝口, if the computer is running Mac or Linux, the command could be:
~/yourscript.sh
That assumes you've created a script in your home directory called yourscript.sh.
If the computer is running Windows, the command could be:
c:\scripts\yourscript.bat
That assumes you created a c:\scripts folder, and put yourscript.bat in it.

@Russ thank you !!!
