How to capture server messages sent from interactive console?

in Builders - Scripting
In linux you can do 'say something' in the interactive console and it gets broadcast to all players.

It goes to combat log like :

[Server]: something


In the module scripting, I'd like to capture this message and "do" something with it. How could I capture it? i think I want to use SetListeningPattern, but don't know where to put that.


for example: `say gamemode 1`

if ( "matches game mode" ) {
gametype = parse words
SetLocalInt(GetModule(), "GameMode", gametype )

}

    To pick up messages from the chat window, you need a listening creature with SetListenPattern in its OnSpawn script. It will detect and process the message in its OnConversation script.

    Oh wow mind just got a little blown here.
    Question: I can trigger realtime events by having my linux use nwservctl.sh script to send message, then capture message in server and script things to happen like killer penguins appaer ?
