You said it was a daemon?  But the above looks like an interactive
program to me.

The %x{...} will wait for the program to exit and take the output that
it collected and assign it or garbage collect it.  But if your program
is interactive and does not exit then the %x{...} can't either since
it needs to wait for it to exit.

If you want your "party" program to be a daemon then it needs to be
modified to be a non-interactive daemon program.

Varying run to run does not sound good either.
