javascript (spidermonkey) how does one run a linux command from js shell?

Question

I\'m stumped and feeling stupid. I\'ve tried every search combination I can think of to figure this out. It seems simple, but being new to javascript I\'m not seeing anythin

Answer 1

For linux I've found that EJScript has file support that works out of the box. It's letting me do what I want to do anyway. I'll still try to get spidermonkey compiled with the File_Object flag because I'm stubborn, but so far I have no problem recommending EJScript for programmers who want to try out serverside javascript.
