Can OBS respond to commands, say from the Linux command line interface in some way? For example, can I trigger OBS to display a defined lower third from Linux command line?

Not directly, but you can send WebSocket messages to it.

Or if you're trying to automate it, you might move that automation inside of OBS itself with the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin:

I found obs-cmd. That works for my needs. At some point I will look for more direct integration with python. I plan, ultimately, to have OBS directives come via MQTT messaging.
