Hi, i have a rule with a bash script (cut the content of a specific file, when it changes, and put that in clipboard) that not run until i forced it. When i force the rule, it works correctly with no problem.

Hi. Sorry for the late of this replay.

Here an exemple log line (with debug flag enabled) when Hazel has not run my script.

2015-04-02 23:13:42.308 hazelworker[35563] DEBUG: Clipboard_jd.txt: TheRuleName. Not executing actions.


next i forced the rule and it run with no problem.

I can add an information: Clipboard_jd.txt stays in a Dropbox folder. I red from this thread viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4653 that there is a problem with Shared folders but Clipboard_jd.txt's is not shared with anyone.

That means that Hazel already ran the rule. It won't run the actions again on it unless, of course, you force it. If you need the rule to run more than once, you need to add conditions to Hazel (like something date based) to tell it to do so.
