__DESCRIPTION__

A library for spawning shell commands in Ruby. The library can be useful when 
you'd like to run a command and find out if it was successful(e.g: exited with a 
status code of 0) or if you'd like to access the standard output and standard 
error streams for a given shell command.

__EXAMPLES__

The first example lets you handle a failure of a command yourself, but the second
example assumes you want a exception raised on failure(e.g: command exits with 
a non-0 status code).

__1.__

    ShellCommand.run "ls" do |command|
      if command.success?
        puts command.stdout
      else
        puts "Looks like `ls` had problems executing."
      end
    end

__2.__

    begin
      ShellCommand.run! "ls"
    rescue ShellCommand::Exception => e 
      p e.message
    end
