OpenHab 2 binding for executing shell commands

BetterExec

I created a custom OpenHab 2-binding for executing shell commands because the default exec-binding did not fit my needs.
BetterExec is designed to work with a switch-item. It is possible to define different commands, depending if the switch is turned on or off. Commands are executed sequentially, one at a time within a FIFO queue. Currently there is a hard-coded 5 second timeout after which the command terminated, so the next command in the queue can be executed.

Usage

Example thing definition:
betterexec:command:rcsocket1 "rcsocket1" [oncommand="switchrcsocket 00000 0 1", offcommand="switchrcsocket 00000 0 0"]

Example item definition:
Switch RCSocketSwitch1 "Socket 1" {channel="betterexec:command:rcsocket1:execute"}
