2465	Execute system commands with njs (JavaScript)	anthumchris@…		"Executing system commands in njs scripts could be very useful. Immediate use cases are:
1. Executing a media codec command to return the byte position within a media file at a specific time (milliseconds).
1. Executing an image resizing command to create smaller images (thumbnails) when original, full-size images are uploaded.

Additionally, providing input/output to system commands would provide us with a simple API to extend functionality beyond what njs natively provides.

Currently, Lua module [https://github.com/openresty/lua-resty-shell lua-resty-shell] provides a feature to execute commands. It would be great to have this in njs too."	enhancement	new	major		other	1.23.x		njs		Darwin localhost 21.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 21.6.0: Wed Aug 10 14:25:27 PDT 2022; root:xnu-8020.141.5~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64	"nginx version: nginx/1.23.3
