Thanks to Pablo for testing of functionality. Does anyone know whether it could be related to the random last comprehensive update of Win7? I read that Microsoft corrected with problem of big security hole. It is strange that a few days ago I find it all worked very well and after the last update of Windows 7 it not working. You can someone please verify this? Have you Pablo the latest Microsoft Windows 7 update?? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar Dne 16.2.2015 v 21:20 Pablo Rodriguez napsal(a):

the sample you sent works fine for me. Both files get compiled.

I call \executesystemcommand to compiling another ConTeXt file from running ConTeXt. I use Windows 7 and problem is under TeXlive 2014 version and Standalone version too. I’m using latest beta in Fedora 20.

At work, I use Win7 64 bits and \executesystemcommand works also fine (I use it every day).

Sorry, but I’m afraid I don’t have a clue why it doesn’t work in your system.

Hi Jaroslav, I’m on Fedora 20, no Win7 here. I had a similar problem with geany in WinXP. I couldn’t get \executesystemcommand running. I had to switch to Notepad++ because of this. I still wonder what was wrong with that (although I didn’t investigate it further). Just in case it might help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Thanx Aditya for reply. I compile this ConTeXt file: \starttext \immediate\write18{context --version} \stoptext with last standalone version of ConTeXt (minimals). Below is the console output and log file. I do not know whether this can decipher be from a reading. It seems that write18 is enabled. I do not know what could have happened and why it does not work. Can be a problem in collision TeXlive vs Standalone version (paths problem)? I do not know how to fix it. I tried again to install the standalone version, but it did not help. I hope that I have somehow smashed up Windows because reinstalling windows because of dysfunctional ConTeXt me quite a scare...

Is write18 enabled? You'll see a message in the 2nd or 3rd line when you run context, telling the status of write18.

What happens if you use

\immediate\write18{context --version}

(Check the console output for an appropriate message)

Aditya

Hi Aditya. Thanx for reply. I am sending result from output console from your example ie: \starttext \writestatus{test}{before calling shell command} \immediate\write18{echo HELP} \writestatus{test}{after calling shell command} \stoptext Output is below. Regarding the call ConTeXt, I often calls it directly from the editor (PsPad) but when frequently repeated compilations, then I type commands directly from terminal (command line of windows) Thankx for attempt to solve my problem.

Thanx Aditya for reply.

I compile this ConTeXt file:

\starttext \immediate\write18{context --version} \stoptext

with last standalone version of ConTeXt (minimals). Below is the console output and log file.

write18 is enabled on your system; I don't know why the shell command does not work.

Try this instead (I assume that windows comes with the echo command):

\starttext \writestatus{test}{before calling shell command} \immediate\write18{echo HELP} \writestatus{test}{after calling shell command} \stoptext

Post only the output of the 2nd run (so that the console output is shown once and not thrice).

How are you running context? (Typing the command from a terminal, or using an IDE?)

Hi Luigi. Thanx for reply. I am sending result from output console from your example ie: \starttext \immediate\write18{echo "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"} \stoptext Output is below. To be honest, I've never done such a thing and did not examine how many times ConTeXt runs. I have always relied on the default settings. Thankx for attempt to solve my problem.
