If you want to send script from a URCap when a program isn’t running, you can use a secondary client interface, as outlined in jbm’s post in this thread:

I also want to add an input button so that when i press it, it will execute movej or movel ur script for robot to move to target pose. Is it possible to execute ur script at this situation? similar case should be the “perform action now” button in Set or “Preview Popup” button in Popup. Here are the code that I am writing: [image] thanks

This allows you to send any URScript to the robot directly from within a ProgramNode, as opposed to script written in `generateScript`, which is only sent once you press play on the prgram.
