childprocess-spawn-detached

A slightly more concise API for child_process.spawn().

API

This module exports one function:

spawn(prog[, args][, opt])

Basically the same interface as child_process.spawn(), except:

• When prog is false-y, do nothing and just return false.
  • This is meant to save you an if statement and repetition of the config lookup code when your program's config has an optional setting for a notification command. Example: spawn(process.env.coolserver_notify_listening);
• opt.detached is true by default.
• When opt.detached, a missing or false-y opt.stdio means 'ignore'.
• When args is false-y, opt.shell defaults to true.

Known issues

• Needs more/better tests and docs.
