Options for C# script runners

Mono provides C# interactive console (REPL) through csharp command, so you can create executable scripts with C# just by adding #!/usr/bin/csharp as first line of source file. More info...

If you need more from your C# scripts (i.e. pass command-line arguments to them, know script source location, run script in a terminal window) - you could run them using csexec. Get it here: https://github.com/roman-yagodin/csexec, install, then add #!/usr/bin/csexec -r:R7.Scripting.dll as a first line. More info...

Install library

• Place R7.Scripting.dll and notify-sharp.dll at ~/.config/csharp.

Simple script

#!/usr/bin/csexec -r:R7.Scripting.dll

using System;
using System.IO;
using R7.Scripting;

public static class Program
{
    public static int Main (string [] args)
    {
        var script = new Script (args, () => { 
            // TODO: place your code here
        });

        return script.Run ();
    }
}

Warning: in development!

The library's code is in process of constant change, so do not expect any kind of stable API.
