Question

I have a shell script saved in scripts/shell/record_video.sh that I need to call in one of my projects.

An example of its use in code:

(defn save-mp4 [cam filename duration]
  (sh "scripts/shell/record_video.sh" (:i_url cam) filename (str duration)))

how would I be able to jar the project so that the shell script is included if i upload to clojars?

Thanks @Ankur. The (sh "bash" :in bash-command-string) is super useful. The only reason I needed the .sh file in the first place was because I couldn’t quite figure out how to do redirects when the stdout contains something big (like a video).

the file scripts/shell/record_video.sh contains:

SRC=rtsp://$1:554/axis-media/media.amp?resolution=1920x1080
DST=$2
LEN=$3
openRTSP -4 -d $LEN -w 1440 -h 1080 -f 25 -u root pass $SRC > $DST 2> /dev/null

and I did not know how to translate the redirect (>) without making the program memory consumption enormous. The (sh "bash" :in bash-command-string) command allows my function to be written without the shell script:

(defn save-mp4 [cam filename duration]
  (let [src (format "rtsp://%s:554/axis-media/media.amp?resolution=1920x1080" (:i_url cam))
        cmd (format "openRTSP -4 -d %d -w 1440 -h 1080 -f 25 -u root pass %s > %s 2> /dev/null"
                    duration src filename)]
    (sh "bash" :in cmd)))

Two steps:

• Package the shell script as resource.
• Read the shell script file using java resource API and use
  (sh "bash" :in file-str)

Where file str is the shell script content read using resource API.
