Custom Onion Console App - Running an arbitrary shell command



  • Howdy,

    I've tried and failed šŸ˜• looking for a nudge in the right direction.

    I'm not sure what the difference is between a "fileProvider.execCommand()" command and a "ubus.request()" is.

    Wait.

    Probably a better idea to explain what I'm trying to do šŸ˜‰

    I'd like to run an arbitrary shell command such as "ls /dev/ -l | grep 'mtd'" and be able process the results accordingly from within an app.

    Also I see Polymer is being used, is this the full blown version and I assume we're able to extend using any of the off the shelf elements from https://elements.polymer-project.org/ ?

  • Morning,

    Can anyone point me in the direct direction for this one?

    As you can imagine the ability to run shell commands to interrogate the onion in a console app would be nuts!

    Matt

    PS. I know I've bumped the post, but I have been a good boy & waited a week šŸ˜‰

    @Matt-Ogborne you are correct, we are using full blown Plolymer 1.0. You can extend the console with any custom elements. To run a linux command you will need to use the 'exec' function under the ' file ' ubus service. ubusProvider is the place to get started.
