--- title: "Execute Shell Script" ---
This is generated from the built in components of Otter 2023.0, and may be different than what you have installed (especially if you have extensions); go to [Gear Icon] -> Administration -> Operations within your Otter instance to see exactly what operations are available.

Executes a specified shell script.

Script usage:

SHExec(
	Text: <text>,
	[Variables: <%(key1: value1, ...)>],
	[OutVariables: <@(text)>],
	[EnvironmentVariables: <%(key1: value1, ...)>],
	[Arguments: <text>],
	[Verbose: <true/false>],
	[OutputLogLevel: <integer>],
	[ErrorOutputLogLevel: <integer>],
	[SuccessExitCode: <text>],
	[CaptureDebug: <true/false>]
);

This operation may be prefixed with Linux::, although this is a built-in namespace and isn't really necessary.
