# ExecSimple

[![build status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/chris-rock/exec-simple.png)](http://travis-ci.org/chris-rock/exec-simple)

A simple command runner in nodejs. This is a port of [exec-simple for ruby](https://github.com/arlimus/exec-simple) for nodejs.

## Usage

A simple execution:

    var ExecSimple = require('exec-simple');

    var es = new ExecSimple('echo test');

    es.run().then(function (code) {

        console.log('done');

    });

Handle timeouts:

    var es = new ExecSimple('echo "Sleep... wait for it"; sleep 100; echo "DARY"');

    es.run().timeout(50).then(function (code) {

        console.log('done');

    }).catch (function (code) {

        console.log('process took too long');

    });

Recieve `stdout` and `stderr` events

    var es = new ExecSimple('echo test');

    es.on('control', function (data) {

        console.log(data);

    });

    es.on('stderr', function (data) {

        console.log(data);

    });

    es.on('stdout', function (data) {

        console.log(data);

    });

    es.run()
