.to(file) does not mute STDIO output

[aurium]

node -e "require('shelljs/global'); echo('some words').to('/dev/null')"
Must not print some words on console.

You can achieve this by doing the following:

"some words".to("/dev/null")

Though, you still have a point in that the shell built-in echo; when redirected does the right thing. Probably should keep this open until addressed.

[wilmoore]

Perhaps echo should work more like a write stream. It is currently just doing console.log.

• stream.Writable
• fs.createWriteStream

Consider this related to issue #154, so any output must be silenced when piped to a file.

Any thoughts on how to solve this?

Blocked on issue #800. @freitagbr we could probably just merge this into that issue.
