cordova-plugin-shell-exec

Apache Cordova Plugin to Execute Commands in Smartphone's Operating System Shell

Supported Platforms

• Android

Installation

$ cordova plugin add https://github.com/petervojtek/cordova-plugin-shell-exec.git

Usage

window.ShellExec.exec(cmd, callback)

callback function will return a hash with two keys - exitStatus and output.

Example:

window.ShellExec.exec('uptime', function(res){
  console.log('exit status: ' + res.exitStatus)
  console.log('cmd output: ' + res.output)
})

JS console output:

exit status: 0
cmd output: up time: 10 days, 05:16:51, idle time: 17 days, 01:22:57, sleep time: 5 days, 16:38:37

If command execution fails (e.g. you enter wrong command), you receive exit status 100.

Notes

• Currently plugin works properly only in user mode. Some code tweaks are needed to run commands as root (I do not have a rooted Android phone to test it).
