grunt-exec

Grunt task for executing shell commands.

Getting Started

Install this grunt plugin next to your project's grunt.js gruntfile with: npm install grunt-exec

Then add this line to your project's grunt.js gruntfile:

task.loadNpmTasks('grunt-exec');

Documentation

This task is a multi task, meaning that grunt will automatically iterate over all exec targets if a target is not specified.

Target Properties

• command(required): The shell command to be executed. Must be a string.
• stdout(optional): Set true if you want the stdout to be printed. Defaults to false.
• stderr(optional): Set true if you want the stderr to be printed. Defaults to false.

Example

    grunt.initConfig({
        exec: {
            remove_logs: {
                command: 'rm -f *.log'
            }
            list_files: {
                command: 'ls -l **',
                stdout: true
            }
        }
    });
