Hey! I did a quick search on this channel about asynchronous and coroutine safe subprocesses, and I didn't find anything relevant. Any suggestions on how to achieve this properly? (thinking of Python's
asyncio.create_subprocess_shell
)

So you just want to spawn a process and get the output? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35421699/how-to-invoke-external-command-from-within-kotlin-code/41495542 There are a couple of options for JVM and even native.

But isn't that threaded? Meaning it will halt my coroutine context if I use it?

Kotlinx.io has announced that feature I believe, however it's far from being ready (at least according to their README)
