Use Photoshop JavaScript to Execute System Command

Question

I'm using Photoshop to automate processing images using action sets. I have added javascript to one of my action sets. I want to issue a windows command line prompt using the javascript. Is this possible? Is there some type of system_exec() function for doing this?

Edit: Here's an easy test

app.system("mshta javascript:alert(\"Hello World\");close();");

Answer 1

You can do this:

app.system("some Windows command")

E.g.

app.system("echo hi > C:\hi.txt")
