> exec("ls")

Then, the nodejs process gets stuck and the only way I can get out of this is to run pkill nodejs in another terminal. Any ideas what might be causing this? I've installed nodejs as a Debian package, and I've also run "npm install shelljs" hoping that it would upgrade me to the latest version.

Thanks,
