//Uses node.js process manager

const dialog = electron.dialog;

// This function will output the lines from the script 
// and will return the full combined output
// as well as exit code when it's done (using the callback).
function run_script(command, args, callback) {
    var child = child_process.spawn(command, args, {
        encoding: 'utf8',

            type: 'warning',
