Better os.run()

Hey,

I recently discovered the os.run() command and I was wondering why there is only a way to add apis but not disable them. Maybe that would be cool?

You can do something like this:

os.run({ api={} }, "program")

Thank you for your answer, I will try this as soon as possible. I found a different solution though:

local env = {['os']=new api}
os.run (env,program)

That's exactly the same thing though…

It's the same thing, you're just defining it as a variable instead - here's an example of what i mean

local myVar = "hello"
print(myVar)
--# is the same as
print("hello")
