kattu

Run commands quietly unless the command fails

Usage

I often wish to run commands but hide the output unless the command fails. In such cases, I would love to see both stdout and stderr so that I can analyze the issues. Mostly I use this while doing sysadmin stuffs.

$ npm install --save kattu

Usage

const kattu = require('kattu');
 
kattu('ls /tmp');
//=>
 
kattu('ls /tmp/does/not/exist');
//prints => ls: cannot access /tmp/does/not/exist: No such file or directory
