spawn vs exec in nodejs - child_process
<p>Lately I started learning node.js.I have a situation where I have to call multiple (say - 6 shell) scripts.Each script returns different json,at the end i have to create a new json by picking necessary fields from json's which each script returns using node and express.</p>

<p>eg: script json output:{"firstname":"xxx","lastname":"yyyy","account":"1234"}. 
I understand the difference between spawn and exec:

<p>Since 'exec' has buffer limit,i am confused which is the perfect fit for my scenario.
Also i trying to figure out the way to execute script in parallel and return the output of 6 shell scripts.</p>
