weird inconsistency between macos and ubuntu

[max-mapper]

I made a gist reproducible test case for ubuntu here: https://gist.github.com/maxogden/0ea1f28b977c79a7a2cf

on macos both a and b from the gist behave as expected. however, on ubuntu b never emits close

If you replace /bin/sh with /bin/bash on ubuntu, the child_process successfully emits the close event.. could this be related to nodejs/node#4432?

I'm a bit busy, so I'm going to wait for a solution to nodejs/node#4432. If you have good solution fell free to tell me or make a pull request.

@AndreasMadsen alright I made a PR here, #3

[AndreasMadsen]

Added support for the shell option. So at least you can do:

execspawn(command, { shell: process.platform === 'win32' ? 'cmd.exe' : '/bin/bash' });

@maxogden Lovely. Hopefully we will see a solution from node core.
