Run Terminal Scripts from Swift in your Mac app — honza dvorsky http://honzadvorsky.com/blog/2015/5/14/run-terminal-scripts-from-swift-in-a-mac-app …

@czechboy0 Looks like this doesn't handle the case where the task never terminates because the output pipe buffer gets filled up.
honza dvorsky ‏@czechboy0 15 May 2015

@mjtsai Good point. How could I do that? The buffer limit is 65536 bytes (OS X pipe buffer size), not sure what happens if overflown :)

@czechboy0 Build up the output/error data a chunk at a time. Don't -waitUntilExit. Keep running the run loop until file handles are empty.

@mjtsai But what if the script isn't outputting anything for a while? Wouldn't that terminate before the script itself does?
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai 15 May 2015

@czechboy0 No, because instead of calling -waitUntilExit you run your own loop until the output and error are finished.

@mjtsai And those are guaranteed to only finish when the whole script has terminated?
