Node child_process.spawn multiple commands

From Node.js v6 you can specify a shell option in spawn method which will run command using shell and thus it is possible to chain commands using spawn method. For example this: var spawn = require(‘child_process’).spawn; var child = spawn(‘ls && ls && ls’, { shell: true }); child.stderr.on(‘data’, function (data) { console.error(“STDERR:”, data.toString()); }); … Read more

How to spawn a new independent process in Python

Try prepending “nohup” to script.sh. You’ll probably need to decide what to do with stdout and stderr; I just drop it in the example. import os from subprocess import Popen devnull = open(os.devnull, ‘wb’) # Use this in Python < 3.3 # Python >= 3.3 has subprocess.DEVNULL Popen([‘nohup’, ‘script.sh’], stdout=devnull, stderr=devnull)

Using nodejs’s spawn causes “unknown option — ” and “[Error: spawn ENOENT]” errors

After lots of trying different things, I finally had a look at what “npm” actually is on windows, and it turns out to be a bash script called npm, as well as a windows-native batch script called npm.cmd (no idea why it’s .cmd, that should be .bat, but there you have it). Windows’s command resolver … Read more

multiprocessing fork() vs spawn()

There’s a tradeoff between 3 multiprocessing start methods: fork is faster because it does a copy-on-write of the parent process’s entire virtual memory including the initialized Python interpreter, loaded modules, and constructed objects in memory. But fork does not copy the parent process’s threads. Thus locks (in memory) that in the parent process were held … Read more

Node.js Spawn vs. Execute

The main difference is that spawn is more suitable for long-running processes with huge output. That’s because spawn streams input/output with a child process. On the other hand, exec buffers output in a small (by default 200K) buffer. exec first spawns a subshell, and then tries to execute your process. To cut a long story … Read more

Argument passing strategy – environment variables vs. command line

1) I would recommend avoiding environmental variables as much as possible. Pros of environmental variables easy to use because they’re visible from anywhere. If lots of independent programs need a piece of information, this approach is a whole lot more convenient. Cons of environmental variables hard to use correctly because they’re visible (delete-able, set-able) from … Read more

Node.js spawn child process and get terminal output live

It’s much easier now (6 years later)! Spawn returns a childObject, which you can then listen for events with. The events are: Class: ChildProcess Event: ‘error’ Event: ‘exit’ Event: ‘close’ Event: ‘disconnect’ Event: ‘message’ There are also a bunch of objects from childObject, they are: Class: ChildProcess child.stdin child.stdout child.stderr child.stdio child.pid child.connected child.kill([signal]) child.send(message[, … Read more
