Shelley: macOS menu bar app that runs shell scripts upon authorized HTTP request
- captn3m0 6y agocool hack, but remember to turn this off at untrusted networks.
- black3r 6y agoor just add a https proxy before it before it..., even better, use a https tunnel service like ngrok to allow automating stuff from anywhere not only from your local LAN.
- hellomyfriends 6y agoyou can do that with pure nginx/apache or almost any webserver as well, it's called CGI
- AdamJacobMuller 6y agoThe first programming work I ever did was with CGI, about 25 years ago, writing bash scripts to control playing MP3s using webmin's HTTP server (I think Apache was too complex for me to figure out how to setup at the time). I'd be lying if I said I was't a bit sad that we've gone so far that CGI isn't even in the thought process for this problem.
- csilverman 6y agoI have an iOS Shortcut that SSHs into my Mac and runs scripts. It’s pretty simple; I only use it to remotely launch/quit Slack, but I could probably do a lot more if I had a reason to. It’s cool to see somebody else mention Hazel. I love that app—it’s one of the most useful apps I have—but nobody else seems to use it.
- AdamJacobMuller 6y ago> remotely launch/quit Slack Curious, why would you want/need to do this?
- skinnymuch 6y agoLike the author said. I have no clue what to use Hazel for. Keyboard Maestro I get.
