Linux HS: bash script support?

[Guest]

I have an alternate and faster method of executing bash scripts on Linux using HomeSeers speak.sh.

I simply added the code:

# Execute bash command
case $1 in bash*)
command=$(echo "$1" | sed -e 's/\<bash\>//g' | sed -e 's/^ *//')
eval $command
esac

now for any speak event in HomeSeer that starts with the word "bash", that will be executed as a script.

This avoids the delay involved in executing using a vb script as the first time its run after each reboot can result in up to a 6 second delay on my system. Using this method I have seen no visible delay at all even after restart.

Obviously customise for your system as needed.

haha omg... how to use a poor written hsteam speak action at your advantage !!

i said to myself that I would use that, but i did resquest a change in hs4 to protect the speak and speaktofile text from the shell (it doesN,t like apostrophe)

There should be a way to use homeseer json api in a bash script to get the value, and put this value into a variable ... then send the curl command with the value.

But that is a lot of steps..

I thinks it's the time to ask hst to implement this in hs4 '' the ability to put replacement variables into the argument zone
