How to properly execute commands using only the API

$

Hi, I'm using Titanium Desktop and am converting my app to only use javascript and the Titanium API (right now I am also dependant on PHP, which I want to deprecate).

I've already converted everything, apart from 2 commands which I run in php with shell_exec. The Titanium API has a more or less equivalent function with Titanium.Process.createProcess, only it seems quite limited in the way that it takes arguments.

I am trying to run the following process:

"echo 'foo' > /tmp/bar &"

But I find it impossible to execute this using the Titanium API, I can execute the echo, but there's no way I can make it write the output to /tmp/bar without having the Titanium API take care of this part as well. The reason I don't want to take care of this in Javascript is because I will take a serious performance hit (keep in mind the above command is just an example).

Any ideas?

Thank you
