Description

Need detailed description on how to obtain token "by external program". There is no single example how to implement this.

I tried to pass token refresh script as an argument like: restler test --no_ssl --grammar_file Compile/grammar.py --dictionary_file Compile/dict.json --token_refresh_interval 7200 --token_refresh_command "sh token.sh" but it always fails, in logs: "Exception refreshing token with cmd sh token.sh. Error: invalid syntax (, line 1)"

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the token refresh command parsing in the RESTler codebase. Look at how ` token refresh command` is processed and executed. Check if the command string is being properly passed to a shell or if there's a syntax error in the parsing logic. Also review the documentation to see if examples are provided.
