Extension Settings

Some general settings for jw_shell_exec can be configured in Admin Tools -> Settings.

Tab: Basic

Shell Script

Default: pwd

Define a path to an executable shell script.

Note

If you want to execute OS commands like pwd with jw_shell_exec there is no need to add full absolute path. jw_shell_exec will automatically search in various PATHs like usr/bin/, ...

Warning

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['BE']['disable_exec_function'] has to be disabled. Else, the script will never be executed.

Warning

The EXT: prefix is not allowed anymore! Please register your shell script with composer. That way it is automatically available from vendor/bin/ path. If you still need your own path please add full absolute directory path to your shell script in $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['binPath'] and enter just the filename of your script here.

Warning

Don't forget to set execution rights to your own shell script.

Allow parallel execution

Default: false

To prevent side-effects when BE users have started the script at the same, the parallel execution is disabled by default. If you're sure that no side-effects will occure you can activate this option.
