How Can I Execute KM Shell Script without any KM Variables in the Shell Environment?

@selina

Currently, I am trying to call the external terminal without any keyboard maestro environment variables. The reason being, I need to pass in some flags and options, so I cannot simply use the built-in "activate a certain program".

Why do you care that the KM Variables are in the shell environment?
Have you tried running "kitty" in an Execute a Shell Script action?

Note that the KM Execute Shell Script does NOT allow any user interaction in the shell.

Also, note the following:

The Execute a Shell Script action executes a specified shell script using /bin/sh, either from a file or from the script embedded in the action.

Important:

• It is best to always specify the language using the #! at the front of the script.

• The script is executed with the sh shell, so if you want to use another language, or use any special kinds of shell-specific syntax, then you should specify the language.

• For more details and examples, see How to Use Shebang at Top of Shell Script

@selina

On the off chance, is there any option to run a script without exporting the environment variables? If not, are there other ways to call an external shell with flags/parameters without opening a Terminal/iTerm/kitty instance itself?

Not that I know of. Perhaps @peternlewis can comment/clarify.
