      Hi guys,

      I’m currently trying to launch both a shell and a python script out of a javascript MagicMirror module, does anyone have an idea how to do this an a simple way?

      The module receives a notification from the voicecontrol module and is then supposed to open a shell script or a python script depending on the command.

      Thanks in advance!

        @DevilRev you can use child process exec to run it in the node_helper https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_exec_command_options_callback

        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track
