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

              @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
