execute function

The execute (or exec) function will execute an external process, will wait for it to complete and will return true if it was successful. The first argument should be a path (or a string) to the executable to run and the others are the arguments. You can add an INTO <file> clause at the end of the argument list to point the stdout to another file.

For example:

findit -w 'extension = "bash"' -d '`name` pid: `execute(path INTO ("/tmp/outputs/" + name + ".txt"))`'

Will run all the bash files and output the output into the /tmp/outputs/ directory and:

findit -w 'extension = "txt"' -d '`name` pid: `execute(@rm, path)`' /tmp/outputs/

Will delete those files
