<p>The command <code>/exec</code> can execute external commands and display output in WeeChat.</p>
<p>It is similar to <code>/shell</code> (script shell.py), with major improvements:</p>
<ul>
<li>run many commands at once,</li>
<li>send signals to commands,</li>
<li>send data on stdin of a command,</li>
<li>line numbers in output,</li>
<li>ANSI color support,</li>
<li>command timeout.</li>
</ul>
<p>Other features coming soon: pipe output to WeeChat command or hsignal (to use in a trigger).</p>
