How to use this for a long running process like a server #18

Hi,

This is a great idea. I'd like to use this script to run things like elastic search, reds, rails etc.

I wonder if you could give me a hint / recipe for how that could be done?

Thanks

I'm not personally familiar with any of those things... For "long running scripts" in general, one approach would be to direct the output of them to a pipe (or just a normal file), then have Today Scripts read from that.
