#Node - Processes To launch an external shell command or executable file you can use the child_process. Apart from command line arguments and environment variables you cannot communicate with the process using child_process.exec. However you can use child_process.spawn to create a more integrated processes.

##Executing Child Processes

###To launch an external shell command

var child_process = require('child_process');
var exec = child_process.exec;

possibilities

From Meteor's documentation:

In Meteor, your server code runs in a single thread per request, not in the asynchronous callback style typical of Node. We find the linear execution model a better fit for the typical server code in a Meteor application.

This guide serves as a mini-tour of tools, trix and patterns that can be used to run async code in Meteor.

Basic async

Sometimes we need to run async code in Meteor.methods. For this we create a Future to block until the async code has finished. This pattern can be seen all over Meteor's own codebase:
