How to make a shell command with newLisp

[ale870]

Hello,



I need to make a small script to map my samba drives. I wanted to make it using newLisp instead using typical shell commands (like #!/bin/bash).



I tried this, but I cannot make it executable:

Code Select Expand

#!/usr/bin/newlisp

(writeln "Drive MyWindowsC...")
(! "mount MOUNT_SMB/MyWindowsC")



Please consider that the MOUNT command works perfectly.

I have Linux Mint 6 and XFCE. I (try) to execute the command as:



sudo ./mount_drives



I obtain:



ERR: invalid function : (writeln "Drive MyWindowsC...")



It seems it does not recognize newlisp as my shell interpreter.



Can you help me?



Thank you!

OH MY GOD! I made a mistake (too many programming languages in my head!)



(writeln) does not exist! It is (println)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I'm sorry.

What does the (! "...") line do?

[ale870]

It executes an external command, like "ls" or recall a program like a text editor.

Try this in your command shell:



WINDOWS:



>> (! "dir")



LINUX



>> (! "ls")
