Is it possible to call an external executable from a mod?

[MakerLinux]

Sorry, this is a very basic question, I know. Thing is, to get into X4 modding there's a whole lot to learn, and it is quite convoluted. What I want to do: at every notification (ships killed, order completed etc.) I want to pass the strings to a native executable that will send them to my Saitek X52 Pro LCD screen. Is it possible at all? If it is, I will be sure to read all the modding tutorials and manuals.

its a bit convoluted, but all <debug_text/> should also be sent to stdout (at least im sure it did in XR)

(might require activating the logfile though, i have te feeling the debug_text is otherwise just skipped entirely)

Just like X-Rebirth had? That is an EXCELLENT idea! Thanks! Do you have a reference for X4 command line parameters? Like, can I use something like -debug notifications to get only the notifications on the debug console?

Hi MakerLinux

Not sure this is what you are after but you may want to check step 2) in this sticky which explains how to write information from an XML script to a file.
