I am designing a javascript utility which needs to grep a password file ('ypcat passwd | grep ') in Unix. PERL uses "backtick" or System to run the command line. Python uses os.system. Is there a similar method in javascript?

explore child_process in nodejs, you can use something like : let {exec} = require("child_process"); exec("cmd")Manish Singh– Manish Singh2021-05-10 20:26:55 +00:00Commented May 10, 2021 at 20:26

I don't believe there is a similar method within native JavaScript, but you may be able to achieve this using NodeJS.
