MacOS – XQuartz does not work correctly

macbook promacossshx11xquartz

I have got a problem with XQuartz. We are running a server on which we installed an application which runs via Wine. If I start the application via Linux it works perfect.

But with my Macbook (OS X Sierra 10.12.5) it does not start.
I connect to the server with ssh -X serverID, after this I try to start the application with ./"appname" and it happens just nothing.
In the background XQuartz has already started while I was connecting to the server, but then it does not do anything. No error messages, nothing. Just a little freeze.
If I try to open xeyes, this app starts but without the animation of the Iris. Someone who can help me?

Please try by providing /full_path/appname on the Terminal, Where full_path is the path which the particular appname is located.

Launch XQuartz app via Automator

Aha. Looks like Homebrew wants to run meld via it's own Python, rather than the system one. Terminal sets this up correctly, but obviously Automator doesn't.

Solution: use Run Shell Script in Automator with:

/usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/meld

MacOS – Terminal: command overridden via shell script in /usr/local/bin not executed unless called directly

Order of execution is based on PATH order - locations put first are searched first, if match is found it is executed, HOWEVER, programs mapping are cached so you need to refresh the cache before changes will take place (if you've used that app before). See http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/08/bash-shell-builtin-commands/ (point 3.):

hash command maintains a hash table, which has the used command’s path names. When you execute a command, it searches for a command in the variable $PATH. But if the command is available in the hash table, it picks up from there and executes it. Hash table maintains the number of hits encountered for each commands used so far in that shell.

and

You can delete a particular command from a hash table using -d option, and -r option to reset the complete hash table.

Sidenote: maybe try to create alias instead of wrapper?
