nodeJS exec does not work for “cd ” shell cmd

Question

var sys = require(\'sys\'),
    exec = require(\'child_process\').exec;

exec(\"cd /home/ubuntu/distro\", function(err, stdout, stderr) {
        console.log(\"cd: \" +          


        

Answer 1

It is working. But then it is throwing the shell away. Node creates a new shell for each exec.

Here are options that can help: http://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#child_process_child_process_exec_command_options_callback
