Generic-Subshell

Run a dynamic number of bash commands in parallel, collect all exit codes.

This project essentially has two interfaces.

1. You can interact with the shell script directly. Using NPM, install this project.* Then reference the script with: ./node_modules/generic-subshell/lib/run.sh. Or just copy and paste the script in your project and make it your own :)

2. There is a Node.js interface - pass the Node.js interface an array of commands, and this library will return with a reference to the child process.

 
import * as gs from 'generic-subshell';  // using es5 it's: const gs = require('generic-subshell');
 
const commands = [
  'echo "foo"', 
  'echo "baz"', 
  'echo "bar"'
  ];
 
const k = gs.run(commands);  // returns a child process
 
k.once('exit', function(code){
    // if code is 0, all subshells exited with code 0
    // if code is 1, at least one subshell exited with an non-zero code
});
 

Installation:

npm install generic-subshell --save
