|---|---|---|---|
executeRun a command in bash.
Returns stdout, stderr, and exit code. Default timeout is 5 seconds.
For long-running commands, set 'background: true' to run in background and get a job ID. Then use get_status to check on it.
Tips:
- Use background mode for commands that take more than a few seconds
- For file searches, use 'find' or 'grep'
- For file operations, use 'mv', 'rm', 'mkdir -p', 'stat' etc.Input schema{
