Exec-Binding: keep command running when it terminates openhab

Once it tells openhab to shut down though, openhab in turn shuts my script down,

Ah, well yes it would, this is doing what it was told to do.

Exec binding with sudo

The openhab restart command won’t work. The problem is when you run a command it runs in a shell. When you execute restart the shells opened by OH get terminated and any child process of those shells get terminated. Ultimately what happens in the restart command gets terminated before it has a chance to finish the restart of OH and OH never restarts. You need something outside of OH to restart the OH machine or restart the OH service.

I think most folk run a cron job in the middle of the night.
