Headless Scripting - Is it possible to process, or analyze, two binaries in a script (open both simultaneously)

[jmcarter9t]

Need: I have a large collection of binaries that are in pairs, e.g., one has debug information and one is stripped. I want to process each debug binary in a headless script, but I need to also open an process the stripped version. This works fine in a script executed with the GUI, but I am using the ProgramManager which requires the PluginTool (tool.getService( ... ) ) -- I don't think these will work in a headless script. Looking for suggestions or someone to tell me this is a fool's errand.

Thanks.

Do you are just basically looking to open an arbitrary program from the project in a HeadlessScript?

Yes but have two open at the same time... In the GUI, these would be two tabs, for instance. Seems like this would be easy, but I wanted to confirm this wasn't a rabbit hole. Thx!

Something like:

DomainFile df = project.getProjectData().getFile(project_path);
Program otherProgram = (Program)df.getDomainObject(this, true, false, monitor);
try {
  ...
  ...
}
finally {
  otherProgram.release(this);
}
