Demonstration of Child Process in nodejs

This is a simple repo, to explain - how to use child-process in Nodejs.

Each of the methods i.e. exec execFile spawn & fork is explained in this repo - with their respective file names.

• exec - exec_demo.js
• execFile - exec_file_demo.js (also uses somefile.sh)
• spawn - spawn_demo.js
• fork - fork_demo.js (also uses longtask.js)

Note (for windows user)

You should use (or modify) the commands that are compatible with your operating system. for example: in exec_demo.js we used ls -lh, the windows compatible would be dir commmand, so you need to change that accordingly.
