ironbar/docs/modules/Script.md

Executes a script and shows the result of stdout on a label. Pango markup is supported.

Configuration

Type: script

Name	Type	Default	Description
cmd	string	null	Path to the script on disk
mode	'poll' or 'watch'	poll	See #modes
interval	number	5000	Number of milliseconds to wait between executing script

Modes

• Use poll to run the script wait for it to exit. On exit, the label is updated to show everything the script wrote to stdout.
• Use watch to start a long-running script. Every time the script writes to stdout, the label is updated to show the latest line. Note this does not work for all programs as they may use block-buffering instead of line-buffering when they detect output being piped.
