There may be some useful information in this thread: > [@Waiting in a Gateway Script](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/waiting-in-a-gateway-script/59300/5): > > If you get an instance of [GatewayContext](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.16/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/gateway/model/GatewayContext.html) (search the forums, I’m being deliberately vague here), you can get the shared [ExecutionManager](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.16/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/execution/ExecutionManager.html), which allows you to register a [SelfSchedulingRunnable](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.16/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/execution/SelfSchedulingRunnable.html) which has the same capability Kevin described built in. It would require some moderately advanced scripting know-how, but your scheduled task would also show up on Status → Execution. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/exploring-the-possibility-of-getting-feedback-from-cmd-bat-gateway-on-ignition-automation/83539)._
