Option to pipe output of script to another program before output

[chellige]

Hello,

Is there a way to pipe the output of a script with parameters at execution to another program?

script:
python /tools/getdata.py
parameters:
--Name
--City
Then at execution, pipe the script and the parameters to JQ for json parsing

so effectively run this command line script

$ python /tools/getdata.py --Name Jones --City "New York"  | jq .

If I were doing this I'd... #!/path/to/python/shebang 1>/tmp/scriptout.tmp 2>&1 ... Your script stuff here ... $INFILE=`cat /tmp/scriptout.tmp` && rm /tmp/scriptout.tmp echo $INFILE | jq .

…

Thanks for the suggestion, Unfortunately I'm not really getting what you are suggesting. Are you saying I should make a different script that is called by script-server and have that run the first script, capture the output and then send it to JQ?

Hi @chellige, yes, script server does not support this.
As @MNeill73 suggests, you have to create a wrapping script, which would do for script server instead.
