sh(*cmd, &block)

public

Run the system command cmd. If multiple arguments are given the command is not run with the shell (same semantics as Kernel::exec and Kernel::system).

Example:

sh %{ls -ltr}

sh 'ls', 'file with spaces'

# check exit status after command runs
sh %{grep pattern file} do |ok, res|
  if ! ok
    puts "pattern not found (status = #{res.exitstatus})"
  end
end

# File lib/rake/file_utils.rb, line 33
  def sh(*cmd, &block)
    options = (Hash === cmd.last) ? cmd.pop : {}
    shell_runner = block_given? ? block : create_shell_runner(cmd)
    set_verbose_option(options)
    options[:noop] ||= Rake::FileUtilsExt.nowrite_flag
    Rake.rake_check_options options, :noop, :verbose
    Rake.rake_output_message cmd.join(" ") if options[:verbose]

    unless options[:noop]
      res = rake_system(*cmd)
      status = $?
      status = PseudoStatus.new(1) if !res && status.nil?
      shell_runner.call(res, status)
    end
  end
