Thanks a lot for that, Josef.
And how would it work with additional arguments, for example "date --utc"?
xmlrpc localhost branch E385AFEBE0BFC0111533C0A4E9036281064287E6
system.pid= 'd.set_custom1=$execute_capture=date,--utc'
Error: RPC failed at server. Not a string. (-503)
xmlrpc localhost branch E385AFEBE0BFC0111533C0A4E9036281064287E6
system.pid= 'd.set_custom1=\"$execute_capture=date,--utc\"'
