You could use shc to compile the script to binary.
I cant recall if thats available on SailfishOS, but otherwise, its fairly simple.
Sources for shc is available so if its not already in repositories, it Can be compiled and used. https://github.com/neurobin/shc
shc works.
But the compiled script suffers exactly the same ailments as the script itself, i.e. the launcher (lipstick I guess?) doesn't know that the script started, or that it finished, and just keeps spinning a waiting spinner for some time. It is not harmful, just not nice to look at.
I was wondering if it was possible to send the appropriate commands to the launcher (dbus???) via shell commands, or if I had to create a Silica wrapper around the script to get it to behave "nicely".
That said, is it possible to create a sort of Hello World Silica/QML program without having to install the complete SDK (on my desktop)?

Really don’t know about dbus, but the API docs are here.
Coderus might know, but not sure how active he is here atm.
^ Nah, I want it on-demand, clickable.
Anyhow, my question is not so much about this application specifically, but rather generally about how I can launch a shell script through the launcher (lipstick?) without getting this pointless cover with a spinner.
