General functions for process (system call) execution

run_cmd(cmd, opts = {}) click to toggle source

Execute the command cmd with options opts determined by run_cmd_opts

The command cmd can be:

  • String: The command is processed as is, without changes

  • Array: The command is built with shelljoin so each value is escaped

# File lib/miga/common/system_call.rb, line 12
def run_cmd(cmd, opts = {})
  opts = run_cmd_opts(opts)
  cmd = cmd.shelljoin if cmd.is_a?(Array)
  spawn_opts = {}
  spawn_opts[:out] = opts[:stdout] if opts[:stdout]
  spawn_opts[:err] = opts[:stderr] if opts[:stderr]
  out_io, spawn_opts[:out] = IO.pipe if opts[:return] == :output
  spawn_opts[:err] = [:child, :out] if opts[:err2out] && spawn_opts[:out]
  opts[:source] = MiGA::MiGA.rc_path if opts[:source] == :miga
  if opts[:source] && File.exist?(opts[:source])
    cmd = ". #{opts[:source].shellescape} && #{cmd}"
  end

  puts "CMD: #{cmd}" if opts[:show_cmd]
  return if opts[:dry]

  pid = nil

    raise MiGA::SystemCallError.new(

Options for run_cmd using a Hash opts to modify defaults

Supported keys (as Symbol) include:

  • stdout: Redirect STDOUT to this file

  • stderr: Redirect STDOUT to this file

  • dry: Don't run, just send the command to debug (default: false)

  • return: What should the function return, supported values are :status (Process::Status, default), :pid (Integer, process ID), :error (Error if failed, nil otherwise), :output (String, contents sent to STDOUT)

  • raise: Raise an exception (MiGA::SystemCallError) in case of failure (default: true)

  • show_cmd: Print command to the STDOUT (prefixed with CMD: ) to ease debugging (default: false)

  • err2out: Redirect STDERR to STDOUT

  • env: Environmental variables as a Hash, keys and values must be strings

  • source: A file to be sourced before running, or the Symbol :miga to source the MiGA configuration file
