Originally assigned to: @sadnub on GitHub.

At present, you cannot run a favourite script if you want to read the output. It's a "fire and forget".

An option to be able to wait x seconds for the result of the script (like the "run script" option does).

If this is too tricky to put in place, an easier alternate maybe have "Favorite scripts only" filter in "run scripts" dialogue to make them easier to find/select.

So actually the original purpose of the run favorite script feature was to just have a super fast way to quickly run a script without dealing with multiple clicks like in the "Run Script" menu.

And if you wanted output then it was only just a few more clicks to do the Run Script method and wait for output.

This was back when there were waaay less community scripts than there are now and so yes definitely needs to be improved, actually issue #374 should solve this since we'll add a search feature to the dropdown and I can also add your "favorite scripts only" filter too

Perhaps a nice addition would be a history of previous manually executed scripts for each machine, where you can see the output etc., like you already can for checks and tasks.
