Execute a BASH one liner but stuck on NXLog syntax

Hi, I'm trying to execute the following bash command using NXLog's im_exec input module: `/usr/sbin/route -n | grep 'UG[ \t]' | awk '{print $2}'` From the Linux terminal that command will give the local gateway. When I attempt to run the command in NXLog I get the following: ``` 2020-01-24 13:43:09 WARNING im_exec process /usr/sbin/route exited 2020-01-24 13:43:10 ERROR subprocess '8114' returned a non-zero exit value of 3 ``` Input module I'm using to execute the command: ``` Module im_exec Restart true Command /usr/sbin/route Arg -n | grep 'UG[ \t]' | awk '{print $2}' Arg grep 'UG[ \t]' Arg awk '{print $2}' Arg sleep 30 $gateway = $raw_event; ``` I've tried various combinations of configuring the `Arg`'s but so far no luck. If I try putting everything in the `Command` field I get this error: `/usr/sbin/route -n |grep 'UG[ \t]'| awk '{print $2}';sleep 30;No such file or directory` Can someone help me with the correct syntax? ***NOTE: It seems like the problem is with using the `|` character in the command. Anyone know if NXLog will accept this argument or what syntax I need to use?*** Thanks in advance!!

The above is a shell command while im_exec can not evaluate shell commands. You'll need to run all that via bash -c.
