I have not taested this, but I think you could have the module declare an
array variable...
body agent your_module(parm)
{
vars:
"output[$parm]" string => execresult("verylongandcomplexcommandhere
myArgument");
}
Then you when you
modules:
"whatever" usebundle => your_module("foo");
would later reference $(your_module.output[foo])
It's worth a try... If that fails, you could send the results of your
command to a file, and read the contents of the file. Less efficient,
but you still have Unix buffering on your side...
