non-app shortcut problems #31

@Tormak9970 I have created a shortcut with the following command

echo -e $(echo $(printf 'f%.0s' {1..12}; printf "$(echo aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff | sed 's/://g')%.0s" {1..16}) | sed -e 's/../\\x&/g') | socat - UDP-DATAGRAM:255.255.255.255:9,broadcast

This sends a Magic Packet (Wake-on-LAN) to a target machine (you have to replace the MAC address in the echo command). In Desktop mode, this command works without any problem and my target machine wakes from sleep.

In the plugin, as a shortcut, it does not work. The shortcut displays a success notification but it has no effect, the machine does not wake from sleep.

I checked if the double quotes inside the command are correctly escaped with \ in the settings json file and they are. I also checked journalctl -u plugin_loader but found nothing extraordinary for bash shortcuts.

Did you ever figure out what was going on?
