Awesome!

I've created a dev branch so the automated build doesn't kick off. The dev branch will build onto docker hub with the tag edge incase people want to use it, before it is released.

What commands are you pushing through? Also do you have a cURL example? I'll setup some tests here before I start making changes.

The command I was using was:

curl --request POST \
--url http://127.0.0.1:8126/container/alarm-mode \
--header 'content-type: application/octet-stream' \
--data '{"cmd": "./bin/get-mode.pl"}'

But something as simple as "ls" should work too.

I've made some tweaks to your feature on the dev branch. I've moved the exec function to its own URL, and allowed the user to specify commands that have several parts (like ls -a).

You can checkout the dev branch, or do a docker pull on the edge tag.

Please test it out, and if it works for your needs I'll release it to master.

For reference, here's a sample call

curl --request POST \
--url http://127.0.0.1:8126/container/grafana/exec \
--header 'content-type: application/octet-stream' \
--data '{"command": "ls -a"}'

Thanks again!

Working great 👍

FYI this is how you use it as a rest sensor :)
