Yep it did work in an earlier time but the fact that it's not at present is on me for not getting a script running reliably. I will circle back to this and aim to get it working as I would like it to. The trick for me will be making a combo of windows and linux stuff play nice to get the desired outcomes.

I'll work on this over the coming weeks and keep you posted Rob. Thanks for bringing this subject up :)

Best, Paul
