Execute OS specific script in node / Grunt
You could take advantage of node's process.platform:
process.platform
What platform you're running on: 'darwin', 'freebsd', 'linux', 'sunos' or 'win32'console.log('This platform is ' + process.platform);
Then within the code, optionally add the file extensions based on that:
if (process.platform === "win32") { ext = ".cmd";} else { ext = ".sh";}
Using grunt-shell or any other shell command tool, take advantage of the similarities between win and *nix shells, particularly ||. The first cmd will fail on *nix and fallback to sh:
shell: { options: { stderr: false, failOnError: true }, command: 'cmd command.cmd || sh command.sh' }
