I'm running everything on the RPI now. There is also an ncat for the PI.
That was my aim. The windows VM is no longer in play.
The other metadata script was not working well for me. I don't know why.
Different platform? It was presented in combination with ices2. which
also did not work for me.
Just to be clear i'm not blaming anyone. I'm very thankful for all the
help i already received.
My script to loop looked liked this;
Code:
--------------------
#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]; do ncat 192.168.1.29 9090 --lua-exec cli_status.lua >/dev/null
2>&1 ; sleep 5; done

Greetings Henk.
