launching child processes #114

Closed ghost closed 10 years ago

It would be nice if we could be able to run child processes and read the stderr/stdout as well as exit events.

Oh yes indeed it would :D This won't be added to MacGap though. Instead, it needs to become part of "MacGap with Node". See https://github.com/node-app/macgap — basically, we're providing the MacGap, they're providing the node.js-compatible API.

maccman/macgap — very lightweight, OS-X desktop API for JS node-app/macgap — the above plus Nodelike (https://github.com/node-app/Nodelike), which adds a lightweight implementation of a Node.js-compatible API

Nodelike doesn't yet have child process support. I see you've already added some weight to this issue over on their issue queue (https://github.com/node-app/Nodelike/issues/14)... thanks! :)
