Description
This is a simple wrapper for the [os_process] type that allows you to interact with a bash shell, similar to how you would if you were using Terminal on OS X. On Windows, it interacts with the cmd process. The tag creates a new [os_process] type, opens a new shell, and executes whatever command is passed to it.
Sample Usage
local(x = shell('cd /path/to/file; chmod 664 helloworld.xml'))

This uses sys_process & lets you specify the user to run as
