Command Status for Windows

Run a command from a Stream Deck key and see at a glance if it passed

To run a script from a Stream Deck and see whether it worked, add Command Status for Windows and put your test, build or backup command on a Run Command key. Press the key and it turns green on a success exit code or red on failure, with the exit code, the run time and the last line of output, from Command Prompt or Windows PowerShell.

Get it on the Elgato Marketplace

Stream Deck plugin · Works on Windows 10 or later with the Stream Deck app 6.9 or later.

What you can do

• Run with one press: Run Command starts your command; press again while it runs to stop it and everything it started.
• Know the result at a glance: green on a success exit code, red on failure, with the exit code, run time and last line of output on the key.
• Watch a job: Watch Command runs every 1, 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes after your first press, while the key is visible, and shows the latest result and its time.
• Hear about failures only when it matters: a watched command alerts only when it goes from OK to failed.
• Use your shell: Command Prompt (cmd), Windows PowerShell, or a program started directly.
• Set it up your way: working folder, time limit (1 minute to 4 hours) and success exit codes (for example 0-7 for robocopy).
• Read the output: the last lines appear in the key's settings, in UTF-8, UTF-16 or your console code page, such as Japanese Shift_JIS.
• Runs entirely on your PC: no account, no online service, no telemetry. It runs exactly the command you type, as your Windows user.
• English and Japanese.

How it works

1. Install the plugin from the Elgato Marketplace. In the Stream Deck app, drag Run Command onto a key.
2. In the key's settings, type the command as you would at a Command Prompt (for example npm test) and set the working folder to your project.
3. Press the key. While it runs the key shows the time so far; when it ends, the key turns green or red with the exit code and the last line.

Questions

Limits

• Commands get no input, so use a program's no-prompt option (for example --yes or /Y).
• It never asks for administrator rights, so a command that needs them fails or opens a Windows prompt.
• Only the last 64 KB of output are kept.
• Command Prompt cannot run in a network folder; use Windows PowerShell or a mapped drive letter.
• Windows only (Windows 10 or later).
