const {os_cmd} = require(`${CONSTANTS.EXTDIR}/os_cmd.js`);

os_cmd(the_command, stream_output: true or false);

The stream_output option can be skipped if streaming output is not required, or set to true if it is. If this option is omitted or set to false then the output of the command is logged, after it has completed, otherwise the output is logged as the command is running and producing it.
