I have found posts related to this error in the forum, but nothing really matches. I have also googled for a solution and found none. The difficulty that I am having starts with this really simple python script in a file called gimpTest.py: from gimpfu import * print "I am running the script" gimp.quit() It really does not get much simpler and yes there is a new line after gimp.quit(). I then invoke it using: gimp --no-interface --console-messages --no-data --no-splash --batch-interpreter python-fu-eval --batch - < gimpTest.py I expect the the line "I am running the script" to print and then GIMP to exit -- see http://www.gimp.org/docs/python/index.html for details on gimp.quit(). Well, if that is what happens, then I would not be posting this email. Here is what happens: niessner@charon:~$ gimp --no-interface --console-messages --no-data --no-splash --batch-interpreter python-fu-eval --batch - < gimpTest.py I am running the script batch command: experienced an execution error. <... I hit ctrl-C here otherwise it hangs forever...> gimp: terminated: Interrupt /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/script-fu terminated: Interrupt Now, many of the other posts had other scripting errors that caused GIMP to display the "batch command: experienced an execution error." message, but I cannot find any problems in my 3 liner. While I am a complete newbie with scripting GIMP, I still cannot find anything in the documentation or GIMP man page that would indicate that my experience is the normal behavior. So, would someone please let me know what silly thing I am doing wrong so that gimp.quit() will cause GIMP to exit like the documentation says it should? I should note that it is way too interesting that he script-fu is being terminated with the ctrl-C rather than python-fu since the command line specifies this interpreter. However, that is GIMPness way beyond my level at this point. -- Al Niessner I have never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude. - From Walden by Henry David Thoreau The universe is indifferent, and life is brutal; however, it is man's choice of behavior that makes them malevolent rather than benevolent.
