javascript - How to call Shell script or python script in from a Atom electron app -

i'm trying use atom electron write desktop app both mac , windows.

what need here :

a button.

and when user click button runs following shell (or python script):

ping x.x.x.x 

and result displayed in textarea.

i tried use [shelljs] , [yargs] seems not workable atom electron.

all want use javascript write desktop app (with gui of course) calls script (shell && python) automation work.

any suggestion appreciated, :)

it can done directly node, can use child_process module. please notice asynchronous.

var exec = require('child_process').exec;  function execute(command, callback){     exec(command, function(error, stdout, stderr){ callback(stdout); }); };  // call function execute('ping -c 4 0.0.0.0', function(output) {     console.log(output); }); 

i encourage have @ npm, there tons of modules want, without calling python script.
