Hi,

I am trying to use bash to execute a bunch of rosservice calls, one after the other. Some work but the ones that ask for position ones don't:

rosservice call /wam/cart_move "position: - 0
- 0
- 0.5"

They work if I put them in terminal no problem, but I cannot bash call them.. Any suggestions as to why this my be the case?

Update: 21 Jan - @Wolf saved the day - had to include sleep command to allow the service to run.. Thank you ros answers!

How does your script file look like? What is the error messsage? I can call rosservice from a bash shell script without problems. Did you select bash (# !/bin/bash ) at top of your script?

It's a typical .sh script: #! /bin/bash rosservice call /bhand/open_spread rosservice call /wam/cart_move "position: - 0 - 0 - 0.5" rosservice call /wam/cart_move "position: - 0.87 - -0.15 - -0.45"

What type of service is that?

I dont get an error - this runs without a problem - but does not execute all the command (specifically the service call to /wam/cart_move)

Did you try to add a sleep for a short time between your service calls (Or call with --wait ...)? Maybe your node is just busy if you call the services immediately one after another...
