child-process-close

child-process-close

This module makes child process objects, (created with spawn, fork, exec or execFile) emit the close event in node v0.6 like they do in node v0.8. This makes it easier to write code that works correctly on both version of node.

Usage

Just make sure to require('child-process-close') anywhere. It will patch the child_process module.

require('child-process-close');
var spawn = require('child_process').spawn;

var cp = spawn('foo');
cp.on('close', function(exitCode, signal) {
  // This now works on all node versions.
});
