Im trying to transfer from using the exec node to the daemon node for running my ffmpeg batch scripts as I want the ability to pass commands while its running.

However, how do I get the same argument append option as with the exec node when I first call the command/script? I cannot find a way to pass arguments coming from my msg.payload to the first call.
