+\attention Launching through the shell will NOT provide proper error handling, i.e.
+you will get an error via the return code.
+
+\attention Executing shell commands that incorporate unsanitized input from an untrusted source makes a program vulnerable to shell injection, a serious security flaw which can result in arbitrary command execution. For this reason, the use of `shell` is strongly discouraged in cases where the command string is constructed from external input:
