  How to run os commands in new KX Developer instance

  Posted by Jonathan on October 4, 2024 at 7:38 pm

  I’ve got a new KX Developer instance running now, but I’m trying to run OS commands like \pwd or \ls and I keep getting os: User requested OS call failed. What’s the reason for this error and how I can I fix it so that I can use my OS calls. Tried using system “ls” too but same error.

  
  

  Thanks

  Your other post asks about Windows.’ls’ and ‘pwd’ are Linux commands and will not work on Windows.

  Try \dir which is a valid command in a Windows command prompt.
