Hi All,
I'm having an issue that I'm not able to fix when using a | (pipe) in an exec node. The full command I am trying to exec is:
pactl load-module module-loopback latency_msec=1 source=2 sink=1 | multimon-ng -a DTMF /dev/stdin
But the command will not get executed and the error message thrown is:
Failure: Module initialization failed
However if I just exec the below command in the exec node, it works:
pactl load-module module-loopback latency_msec=1 source=2 sink=1
And if I just exec the below command in the exec node, it also works:
multimon-ng -a DTMF
So I tried the above two commands that are failing in node-red, by executing them directly in the console. Both work:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pactl load-module module-loopback latency_msec=1 source=2 sink=1 | multimon-ng -a DTMF /dev/stdin
multimon-ng 1.1.8

So I suspect the exec-node does not handle the pipe properly.
I hope someone has faced the same issue and can help me.
PS: It is not a matter of appending the msg.payload as I am even trying by passing the entire command manually in the exec node to make sure the command is executed properly.
Thanks all
