Run Bash-Script within Electron App using child_process.exec

Question

I'm struggling with running a bash-script within main.html.

 const exec = require("child_process").exec;

 // Execute bash script
 exec("/c/workspace/_edu_zone/Proxy_Manager/filemover.sh", shellCallback);

 // Callback
 function shellCallback(error, stdout, stderr) {
    console.log(error, stdout)
 }

I'm always getting the error: no such file or directory. What am i doing wrong? Any help is highly appreciated.

change /c/workspace/_edu_zone/Proxy_Manager/filemover.sh to c:/workspace/_edu_zone/Proxy_Manager/filemover.sh — Professor

change

/c/workspace/_edu_zone/Proxy_Manager/filemover.sh

to

c:/workspace/_edu_zone/Proxy_Manager/filemover.sh

or

your could try using node-powershell to execute the command directly

const shell = require('node-powershell')

let ps = new shell({
    executionPolicy: 'Bypass',
    noProfile: true
});

function lunchnode() {
    process.stdout.write('logging');
    ps.addCommand('node run.js')
    ps.invoke()
   .then(function (output) {
       process.stdout.write(output)
   }).catch(function (err) {
       process.stdout.write(err)
       ps.dispose()
   })   
}
