.subscribe(function(output){console.log(output);});

#>echo Hello World|sed s/World/rxjs-exec/ 

Parallel execution (mapExec/mapExecFilter)

var commands=[
    'echo foo',
    'echo bar',
    'echo boo'
]

Rx.Observable.from(commands)
.mapExec().mapExecFilter('sed s/o/x/g')
.subscribe(function(output){console.log(output);});

->

fxx
bar
bxx

#same as 
#>echo foo|sed s/o/x/g &
#>echo bar|sed s/o/x/g &
#>echo boo|sed s/o/x/g &

var commands=[
    'echo foo',
    'echo bar',
    'echo boo'
]

Rx.Observable.from(commands)
.mapExec().execFilter('sed s/o/x/g')
.subscribe(function(output){console.log(output);});

->

fxx
bar
bxx

#same as 
#>{ echo foo;echo bar;echo boo }|sed s/o/x/g

#test.js

Rx.Observable.exec('cat',{stdin:true})
.subscribe(function(output){console.log(output);});

>echo Hello|node test.js

-> Hello

Buffer(binary) output

Rx.Observable.exec('echo Hello',{binary:true})
.execFilter('cat',{binary:true}).
.subscribe(function(output){console.log(output);});

-> <Buffer 48 65 6c 6c 6f 0a>
