Concatenate inside exec command

That was the problem. After some googleing I found that passing pipe to exec is not working so I made a script:

It’s also possible to run it in a shell if you pass the command to a shell. For example:

    val myText = "bash -c 'sudo -u openhab /usr/bin/curl... | /usr/bin/jq \..."

Though I would still recommend using a shell script like you have done already. As mentioned, getting the quotes right and all the escaping becomes challenging. But I wanted to mention that it is possible to run commands in a shell so you can get pipes and redirects and such.

NOTE: There is no reason to sudo -u openhab, it’ll already be running as user openhab.
