Ability to use functions in bash

[akiross]

It would be nice if functions defined in the script source could be used in the bash action. For example:

#!/bin/bash

function write() {    
    zenity --info
}

echo "Title"
echo "---"
echo "Do something | bash='write'"

this would allow to have more complex, self-contained script. For example, in my case, I would like to use zenity to get some user input, process it and perform some actions with the results. Doing that in functions instead of external script files has the advantage of being easier to maintain.

[p-e-w]

This is impossible, because there are two entirely separate contexts here: The executable run by Argos (which can be anything, even a binary) and the command passed to a (separate) Bash shell. The fact that the executable happens to be written in Bash as well is purely coincidental.
