= Exec plugin :toc: macro

The exec plugin allows you to execute commands.

[IMPORTANT]

The exec plugin should be used as a last resort. Using (or writing) a Goplum plugin provides much more control around how the check runs, allows for standardised configuration, avoids the need for external dependencies, and so on.

== Checks

=== exec.command

[source,goplum]

check exec.command "example" { name = "/path/to/script.sh" arguments = ["-c", "3", "--verbose"] }

Executes an arbitrary binary, passing if the exit code is 0, and failing otherwise.
