*Peascripter* is a command manager that allows you run any command strings in defined order, enable and disable strings, create presets and watch running processes in Terminal.

Peascripter is a free open source project written in Ruby language using [Shoes] (http://shoesrb.com/) user interface tool kit.

Peascriptor runs under MacOS. Will be developed for another OS’s in future as well.

Installation

1. You need to have [Shoes] (http://shoesrb.com/) installed.
2. Download or clone peascriptor project.
3. Open peascripter.rb file via Shoes (or just drag it on Shoes icon).

Getting started

- Load existed example scenario pressing LOAD button. - Press RUN button to execute only checked command. - Each command can run any process you need. - You can change any string. Just type inside what you need. - Save preset pressing SAVE button. - You can adjust view selecting lines, boxes or fields. - You can display up to 50 rows. Just click left top counter.

Writing commands in peascriptor

Commands running by peascripter are bash style mostly. There are some recommendations to compose convenient command sets:

• You can put "#SCRIPT NAME" in first row.
• Type any commands in next rows.
• Put ';' in the end of string to divide separate commands.
• One command can be splitted by rows, but it still will be processed as one command.
• Use ‘#’ to write comments.
• You can check/uncheck each string. Only checked commands will be run.
• Commands will be run in order they are displayed.

Tips and Tricks

• It possible to write presets manually in any text redactor just using YAML syntax. Use following array types: “amount” - amount of visible strings in current session, “rows”- rows content, “checked” – checked rows number. First “rows” element is not visible in application. It can be used for scenario author name.

• If terminal window doesn’t appear after RUN button was pressed - try RUN one more time to invoke terminal.
