const fs = require('fs');
const { spawn } = require('child_process');

const logging = fs.createWriteStream('yourfile.log', { flags: 'a' });

const lsProcess = spawn('ls', ['-lh', '/etc']);
ls.stdout.pipe(logging);
ls.stderr.pipe(logging);

ls.on('close', code => {
  console.log(code);
});

//Note that it is unsafe to use fs.write multiple times on the same file 
// without waiting for its callback. 
// For this scenario, fs.createWriteStream should be used.
