ExecSimple

A simple command runner in nodejs. This is a port of exec-simple for ruby for nodejs.

Usage

A simple execution:

var ExecSimple = require('exec-simple');
var es = new ExecSimple('echo test');
es.run().then(function (code) {
    console.log('done');
});

Handle timeouts:

var es = new ExecSimple('echo "Sleep... wait for it"; sleep 100; echo "DARY"');
es.run().timeout(50).then(function (code) {
    console.log('done');
}).catch (function (code) {
    console.log('process took too long');
});

Recieve stdout and stderr events

var es = new ExecSimple('echo test');
es.on('control', function (data) {
    console.log(data);
});
es.on('stderr', function (data) {
    console.log(data);
});
es.on('stdout', function (data) {
    console.log(data);
});

es.run()
