For better results, you can use Logcat Entry event. There is some information related to it in Activity State Changes Tasker Project, although I have to update the project for ADB support, mainly for fullscreen stuff.

Well, being fairly handy with it is totally fine, as long as you can get your work done. Yeah, lot of experienced and genius people here for JS and no, I am not one of them. JS has always been taboo in the more mature programming world. "You write JS? ewww!" So I never really learned it more than basic stuff, even for web stuff like ruby on rails, since it handled lot of the stuff internally by itself. But recently I had to write some complex tasker (non-shell) scripts and I wrote them in JS and it worked out pretty good and faster than multiple action execution would have taken otherwise. Had to solve a few issues, but it worked eventually, there was also a tasker bug introduced in the latest release at the time with global variables and I thought I was doing something wrong and wasted lot of time and hairs cause of it. I think from tasker's perspective, JS can be pretty useful, at least writing tasks and their execution can be much faster. Can also write JS on pc, instead of inside the incredibly slow tasker now on my phone. Do have plans to move more tasks to it, specially the Activity State Changes tasker project, since it runs tasks on each activity change. Have already added support for ADB for current activity ane fullscreen stuff, but some recent tasker update caused the tasks to slow down, and it wasn't too reliable anymore, so need to fix that.
