      Good evening,
      do you know if there is a module running a command that runs an external program?
      I use the Carousel module and I would like to be able to insert a command in some slides that does something.

      Thank you, Alberto

            Hi,

            Did you manage to solve this somehow? I’m trying to run a Linux command or script from inside a module.

              @autonomus you can do that in the node_helper, it’s also already done by some modules

              e.g. https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v8.x/docs/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_exec_command_options_callback

              Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track
