ScriptRunner - an electron app for running configured scripts from the menu bar BUILD: Clone the repo (duh..) Run the following in a terminal: `npm run build:mac` (For macOs) `npm run build:win` (For Win) `npm run build:linux` (For Linux) `npm run build` (For all) USAGE: Compressed (.zip) distributions are provided in releases(https://github.com/himanshu-pro/script-runner/releases) for direct usage. Unzip the appropriate distribution or build manually (as described in BUILD section) Run executables from appropriate folder: bin/ScriptRunner-darwin-x64 (For macOs) bin/ScriptRunner-win32-x64 (For Win) bin/ScriptRunner-linux-x64 (For Linux) SETTINGS: The Settings menu item opens the settings file.. It should be of the following format.. { "scripts": [ // add one object (like below) per script { // used in menu item as `Run <label>` "label": "myScript", // absolute path of the executable "file": "path/to/script>", // (optional) timeout in ms (default is 1000) "timeout": 5000 } ] } COMMON ERRORS: `Permission Denied`: The script files provided need to be executable.. (chmod +x <script.sh>) `File not found`: The script file wasn't found on the path given.. (Check spelling) `wine not found on path`: For build (especially for windows) `wine` command is needed (brew install wine) EXAMPLE: Let's say you have a vpn installed that requires you to run setup and teardown commands in terminal. Assuming the commands are `vpn start` and `vpn stop` respectively. To be able to run these from the menu bar, follow the steps below: Create file `vpn_start_script.sh` with `vpn start` as contents Run the following in terminal: `chmod +x path/to/vpn_start_script.sh` Run ScriptRunner. It should show the app icon in the menubar (top bar). Click on the app icon in the menubar. It should show a dropdown (context menu) with Settings as an option. Click on Settings option. It should open settings.json (in user's app data directory). Add `{"label": "Vpn Start", "file": "path/to/vpn_start_script.sh"}` (as described in SETTINGS section) Save the file. The menu bar app dropdown will now show `Run Vpn Start` option. Click on the `Run Vpn Start` option and the vpn is started..!! You can do the same for `vpn stop` command and have `Run Vpn Stop` option in the app dropdown. Note that once added these options are persistent and don't go away even if you quit the app. Tip: If you want these scripts available all the time, add the application to your startup programs. This will run the app whenever the system starts
