Custom Onion Console App - Running an arbitrary shell command
-
Howdy,
I've tried and failed
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
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!

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

@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.
