Subj.

There might be a better solution than using version number. Why exactly do you need to know?

[VladimirKalachikhin]

To do something if version <, do not something if version >=.

Through the ass, but what's in the JavaScript not through the ass?

	let version;
	try{
		version = exec.execSync('npm list -g signalk-server').toString();
		const i = version.lastIndexOf('@');
		if(i != -1){
			version = version.substring(i+1).trim();
		}
		else version = undefined;
	}
	catch(error){
		version = undefined;
	}

In plugin constructor that receives the app as a parameter it is app.config.version.
