Sometime ago, I don't remember exactly where, don't know if here in the mailing list or jira or somewhere else, I do remember seeing someone showing how to run a lua script in background with 'luarun' and obtaining a job-uuid for that background thread/script which could be used If I'm not mistaken to control that background job including killing it using 'uuid_kill'.

Is this achievable?

At present time I want to be able to launch a lua script in background a get a uuid for it something similar to a process id which I can use to check If the script is still running and eventually use uuid_kill on it.

If someone can elaborate on how to achieve this I'll be very pleased and thankful.

Looking forward to hear from you.
