Shell command

An action block that executes a shell command.

The fiber will pause until the command has completed.

The command should be formatted as it would when executed at a shell prompt, that includes proper escaping. Use the cliEncode function when including a filename or other text as an argument.

The standard output and error will contain the full text as generated by the command during its execution. The exit code is usually set to 0 (zero) for a successful execution of the command.

Note! Built-in shell commands like printf, echo and test which aren’t stand-alone executables may not work.
