starting zotero through a script

michaa7
Hi, I have a script which first stops zotero [quote]ZOTERO_BIN="zotero"
WAIT=2

# Zotero ggf. beenden
if pgrep -x zotero >/dev/null; then
echo "[master] Zotero läuft – beende Zotero"
pkill -x zotero
sleep "$WAIT"
while pgrep -x zotero >/dev/null; do
sleep 0.5
done
fi
[/quote]

now the script does what ist does and after that I want to restart zotero through the script. [quote] "$ZOTERO_BIN" & disown[/quote]

Now I get this error and the script does not finish with a promt.

Is there a clean way to (re-) start zotero through a script without this sandboxing error?

    How did you install Zotero? The sandbox error sounds like it might be the Flatpack? If so, that's not officially supported and the advice would be to use one of the ways of installing the linux version:
    https://www.zotero.org/support/installation
  • michaa7
    No flatpack, it's coming as a *.deb from "deb https://mirror.mwt.me/zotero/deb/ ./
    " and ist is installed via apt.

    You'd have to figure that out yourself — that's something specific to your system. The official tarball and zotero-deb aren't sandboxed.

    (But is there a reason you're trying to run Zotero from a script rather than using the launcher icon?)
  • emilianoeheyns
    for my tests I use debug-bridge to run this inside Zotero

    const appStartup = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/toolkit/app-startup;1'].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIAppStartup);
    appStartup.quit(Components.interfaces.nsIAppStartup.eAttemptQuit);

    I'm not running zotero from a script usually. It is an exception. I am working on something manipulating already imported PDF files in ~zotero/storage/*. While the script is runing, zotero must be closed. When the script has finished, zotero should start again automatically. I can start it manually, but i dont want to click through my dropdown app starting menue.

    If I succeed with what I am trying to do, I will show it here. Please, until then, make no assumptions. ;-) You may criticiese me then when you see what I actually did. ;-)

    BTW, I did not sandbox zotero, the repo maintainer apparently did . He seems to by one of you, I hope. But if there is a non sandboxed version, please let me know where to get it.
    My version: 7.0.32 (64-bit) from the recommended repo https://mirror.mwt.me/zotero/deb/ ./


    @ emilianoeheyns

    I'm lost. I'm not much of an expert. I did not mention it explicitly, I am running Debian/sid(uction) Linux. I have no clue how your setting might help me with starting zotero through a script.
  • emilianoeheyns
    The debs are by my hand. They are not sandboxed.
  • emilianoeheyns
    For starting zotero through a script you don't need anything special. You can just run zotero
  • emilianoeheyns
    BTW the canonical URL for zotero-deb is https://zotero.retorque.re/file/apt-package-archive. https://mirror.mwt.me/zotero/deb/ is a mirror.
  • michaa7
    I assume the versions are the same, but I have now added the canonical URL.

    Thanks




  • emilianoeheyns
    They will be the same, but I control only the canonical repo
  • michaa7
    Ok, I did not know. Thanks for the *.deb_s .

    But downloading from your server would need 12 hours according to apt. It comes in B/s-wise.
  • emilianoeheyns
    That's a good reason to use the mirror, although I can't explain why it's so slow. The retorque.re repo is served straight from backblaze through cloudflare.
  • emilianoeheyns
    And I don't see the betas on the mirror
