Sadly, the units command is not available. Is it possible to run commands and store the output in variables the way you can if you're directly interacting with the shell, or are you required to perform every operation in one line? If I use one cat and one sed at a time, then it seems like I'd have to generate multiple pop-up windows to display all the information. I don't see any mention in the documentation of being able to pass the output of one command as the input for a chain_success command, either.

Alternatively, could I put everything into a shell script inside /mnt/onboard/.adds/ and then execute that with cmd_output?
