npm install execSyncExecutes shell commands synchronously.
__WARNING__ For dev machine shell scripting only. DO NOT USE for
production servers.
__Windows__ requires Python and Visual Studio 2012 (Express) installed for
node to build. See node-gyp installation.
Pre-built binaries for node v0.8 and node v0.10 are packaged. They should work and if not try manually
building.
npm install execSync
Sometimes a manual build is necessary on Windows even with all the tools in place, replace Visual Studio version
with '2010' or '2012' based on the version installed.
npm install node-gyp -g
node-gyp rebuild --msvs_version=2012
Require it
var sh = require('execSync');
Run does not capture output.
var code = sh.run('echo $USER; echo some_err 1>&2; exit 1');
console.log('return code ' + code);
Use the less efficient exec if you need output. exec is just redirection
trickery around run.
var result = sh.exec('echo $USER; echo some_err 1>&2; exit 1');
console.log('return code ' + result.code);
console.log('stdout + stderr ' + result.stdout);
In *nix and OSX version commands are run via sh -c YOUR_COMMAND
In __Windows__ commands are run via cmd /C YOUR_COMMAND
