> If I am missing some other way to solve the problem then point me at it. You can do it simply: your script fetches the data and writes to a file. This script doesn't run from lua, maybe you can use cron or similar. And from your lua script you can read this file's content :) And if you don't connect to net you can put any error message to a file (e.g. "no connection" or similar).
But I think it would be very good if some lua command can run synchroniosly without "stopping" the script (I'm using linotify [1] but I need run this scripts outside from awesome) Zsolt [1] https://github.com/hoelzro/linotify -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
