Execute shell command in javascript

execute.js

#!/usr/bin/env node

function execute(command) {
  const exec = require('child_process').exec

  exec(command, (err, stdout, stderr) => {
    process.stdout.write(stdout)
  })
}

execute('echo "Hello World!"')

can i also run node js command in this way?

@saipranavaddanki02 if you mean to use that function to execute "node file.js", yes. Remember the root permissions if you're in a Linux distribution, otherwise it wouldn't work

Does this function work in different OS - Windows, MacOS, Linux ?

@AmitKulkarni9 as long as the shell has node installed and the file is marked as executable (Windows will ignore the shebang line). The command in the example is a Bash command.
