Running PixInsight processes from other apps

[vicent_peris]

PixInsight -n=2 will launch a second instance of PixInsight. Type "PixInsight --help" from the system console.

Actually, what I tried to achieve was to start PixInsight in the background and then run my scripts in the running PixInsight instance (i.e. not in a new instance).

Sorry, this is not possible at this moment. But I think there are plans for that.

For the moment, you should launch PixInsight each time.

OK - thanks. That spares me lots of trying :-)

One more thing:

Is it somehow possible to pass arguments from the calling program through the .scp script all the way down to the Javascript script?

Alternatively, I could create the Javascript from the calling program before invoking PixInsight - but, boy, that gets ugly ...

Thanks!

And another question: can I start Pixinsight minimized? Or even better not launching/showing the UI at all?

Thanks!
