Shelltastic

Shelltastic is simple *nix shell wrapper for ruby. You can pass a single command or multiple commands to run.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'shelltastic'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install shelltastic

Usage

ShellTastic::Command.run("date")

The above will return an Array of hash meta-data.

[{ :output, :pid, :error, :start, :stop, :total_time, :exitstatus, :command }]

For example, the above command's return would look something like this:

[{:output=>"Sun Feb  3 17:41:45 EST 2013", :pid=>17507, :error=>false, :start=>2013-02-03 17:41:45 -0500, :stop=>2013-02-03 17:41:45 -0500, :total_time=>0.004405272, :exitstatus=>0}]

You can also pass multiple commands separated by commas or pass an array.

ShellTastic::Command.run("date", "whoami")

ShellTastic::Command.run(["date", "whoami"])

[{:output=>"Sat Apr  6 15:26:05 EDT 2013", :pid=>92558, :error=>false, :start=>2013-04-06 15:26:05 -0400, :stop=>2013-04-06 15:26:05 -0400, :command=>"date", :total_time=>0.010004, :exitstatus=>0}, {:output=>"bradleydsmith", :pid=>92559, :error=>false, :start=>2013-04-06 15:26:05 -0400, :stop=>2013-04-06 15:26:05 -0400, :command=>"whoami", :total_time=>0.008262, :exitstatus=>0}]
