The cmd-shim used in npm to create executable scripts on Windows, since symlinks are not suitable for this purpose there.
On Unix systems, you should use a symbolic link instead.
npm install cmd-shim
Create a cmd shim at to
for the command line program at from
. e.g.
var cmdShim = require('cmd-shim'); cmdShim(__dirname + '/cli.js', '/usr/bin/command-name', function (err) { if (err) throw err; });
The same as above, but will just continue if the file does not exist. Source:
function cmdShimIfExists (from, to, cb) { fs.stat(from, function (er) { if (er) return cb() cmdShim(from, to, cb) }) }
