Run terminal command and get output within Unity application(OSX)

Dear Professionals.
I would like to run this OSX Terminal command using Unity's Process, ProcessStartInfo and would like to get the output inside Unity application.

I tried many examples, but all didn't work.

This is my final code(Not working) and I 'd like any professional help on this script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using System.Diagnostics;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class GetDeviceInfo: MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     private void Start()
8.     {
9.  
10. #if UNITY_STANDALONE_OSX || UNITY_EDITOR_OSX
11.         ExecuteProcessTerminal("ioreg -l | awk '/IOPlatformSerialNumber/ { print $4;}'");
12. #endif
13.     }
14.  
15.     private void ExecuteProcessTerminal(string argument)
16.     {
17.         try
18.         {
19.             UnityEngine.Debug.Log("============== Start Executing [" + argument + "] ===============");
20.             ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("/bin/bash")
21.             {
22.                 WorkingDirectory = "/",
23.                 UseShellExecute = false,
24.                 RedirectStandardOutput = true
25.             };
26.             Process myProcess = new Process
27.             {
28.                 StartInfo = startInfo
29.             };
30.             myProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = argument;
31.             myProcess.Start();
32.             string output = myProcess.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
33.             UnityEngine.Debug.Log("Result for [" + argument + "] is : \n" + output);
34.             myProcess.WaitForExit();
35.             UnityEngine.Debug.Log("============== End ===============");
36.         }
37.         catch (Exception e)
38.         {
39.             print(e);
40.         }
41.     }
42. }
43.  

 

What do you mean by "doesn't work"? Do you receive errors, simply no output, etc?

 

Dear @tsibiski Thanks for your kind reply
So simply no output. No error messages.

 

First, let's make sure our bash command is even executing as expected.

Code (CSharp):

1. ExecuteProcessTerminal("echo 'Testing' > /Users/YOUR_ACCOUNT/Desktop/testing.txt")

Make sure to add your account name to that path. Let's see if that file is created.

 

Dear @tsibiski
This is the result

No output.
Nothing created.

 

I just edited my post, sorry. Nothing created. The account name is correct.

 

Edited. Didn't see your most recent post. I will think about this some more and get back to you.

 

Thank you so much @tsibiski , I hope you will help me to fix the problem

 

Try some suggestions here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/execute-shell-script-from-unity-script-osx-tts.160069/

 

Code (CSharp):

1. private string ExecuteProcessTerminal(string argument)
2.     {
3.         try
4.         {
5.             UnityEngine.Debug.Log("============== Start Executing [" + argument + "] ===============");
6.             ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo()
7.             {
8.                 FileName = "/bin/bash",
9.                 UseShellExecute = false,
10.                 RedirectStandardError = true,
11.                 RedirectStandardInput = true,
12.                 RedirectStandardOutput = true,
13.                 CreateNoWindow = true,
14.                 Arguments = " -c \"" + argument + " \""
15.             };
16.             Process myProcess = new Process
17.             {
18.                 StartInfo = startInfo
19.             };
20.             myProcess.Start();
21.             string output = myProcess.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
22.             UnityEngine.Debug.Log(GetStringResult(output));
23.             myProcess.WaitForExit();
24.             UnityEngine.Debug.Log("============== End ===============");
25.  
26.             return output;
27.         }
28.         catch (Exception e)
29.         {
30.             print(e);
31.             return null;
32.         }
33.     }

This worked fine. Thanks
I could not find any help from that thread... But luckily, I found this. Thank you so much!

 

Arguments = " -c \"" + argument + " \""
was the key point.

 

yeah. It's pretty much a linux type vibe. Glad you got it fixed

 

I updated to Unity Hub v3 recently and some 3rd party commands such as Perforce command

Code (CSharp):

1. p4 counter change

is no longer working. It keeps having error

Code (CSharp):

1. /bin/bash: p4: command not found

in

Code (CSharp):

1. myProcess.StandardError

. The same code used to work in Unity Hub 2.4.5. Looks like the new Unity Hub v3 does not include the local machine bash profile. Does anyone have the same issue? Is there a way to fix it?
