Has someone ever attempted to get info about a gateways running script in a format that is similar to how the gateway webpage shows.

I have a gateway that I want to be able to do certain things only if a script is actually running. I looked at the thread dumps, but those are really hard to parse.

Basically I'd like to to put in some automated based on the information that is displayed here

> Hi everyone, Is there a way to create a tag that would return the number of active scripts running on a server? [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Diagnostics+-+Running+Scripts](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Diagnostics+-+Running+Scripts) I would like to create an alarm notification if the number is greater than 0 for a sustained amount of time. Thanks!
