Add Termux Operation plugin

[edaubert]

I add an operation which allows to select a script which will be run as a background task on termux.

This plugin is related to termux/termux-app#1029 as it needs to get the associate right to launch termux script (like termux-widget or termux-tasker do)

Hi there~

Thank you very much for the work! I like Termux too and was wondering something like this previously :p

It looks good to me, and I'm glad to merge it, with the only modification (which may not be ideal if a test says that won't work).
Though I have to say I haven't tested it yet. I'll test it if I have time, but if possible could you record a small video for that (you don't have to)?

The only question I have is whether people (including you) would prefer this as an external plugin or one built-in? (I see your comment in the code about this too.)

I had a look at the Termux side today, and now am aware there needs to be a change in Termux to allow 3rd-party apps to use its service.
So, I guess this may be better implemented as a Remote Plugin? The transformation is not too complicated actually, and I'd like to help if you would like to do so.
What do you think?

[edaubert]

Local or remote plugin is a good question and I don't have a clear answer for you.

I choose the local plugin because I was already aware of how it works :-)

I can make the required changes.

However as you can see in termux/termux-app#1029, these changes are not integrated and I don't know when it will be...
I hope it will be soon or another approach will be and I will enjoy to update this merge request to take it into account.

Hi, i've been following this issue for a couple years now, its the only reason I'm using Tasker and not Easer, would love to see this merged also.
Thank you, its really appreciated.

Any news? I'm also interested in a way to execute Termux programs from Easer

[nerd190]

please!! 2 and a half years later... still eagerly waiting for one permission to be added so this can be used with Termux, such a huge amount of customisation can be had with Termux we can run Python, Ruby, Lua, Zsh scripts etc, scrape websites, use APIs, databases etc etc, all we need is one permission to be added to the manifest.xml and we can close this very old issue finally! pleaseeee :)

What's holding this up? I'd really like to switch from Automate to Easer but this is critical for me!
