@Jackkt if the python script can be changed to just write to the screen, you can use spawn instead. And it can send u info every time it writes

@sdetweil Hey, I get a syntax error from “const { exec } = require(‘child_process’); unexpected token {” its the one before exec. Get the same from spawn.
Thanks

[Jackkt]

@Jackkt Also without the {} the error is “unexpected identifier” for
“spawn”

[sdetweil]

@Jackkt that leading quote shouldn’t be there

[Jackkt]

@sdetweil I was just quoting sorry it looks like:
const { exec } = require(‘child_process’);

and

const exec = require(‘child_process’);

@Jackkt ok. I just cut/pasted it from a working module.

When posting code or config in the forum, please use the markup syntax. 3 backticks (key left of number 1) before your content on a separate line
And 3 more after on a separate line

@sdetweil also, it doesn’t just go anywhere… I didn’t give u exact code, but close

[Jackkt]

@sdetweil What module was that working module? Sorry im just not good at this stuff so I rather cut down a working module then make my own.

[sdetweil]

@Jackkt I don’t remember. I am away til Sunday.
