@noflo/subprocess

NoFlo library to execute commands as a sub-process.

Components

• subprocess/Execute — executes a shell command and sends its standard output

Usage

Components are discovered automatically by NoFlo 2.x on Node.js. Wire subprocess/Execute into your graph and send a shell command to the command port:

• command (string): shell command to execute
• timeout (int, control, default 60000): maximum duration of the command in milliseconds
• out (string output): standard output of the command
• error (object output): failures, including commands that cannot be found or that exceed the timeout

Example in FBP:

ReadSkeleton(Subprocess/Execute) OUT -> IN Display
'ls -lah' -> COMMAND ReadSkeleton

Development

Install dependencies and run the test suite:

npm ci
npm test
