title: Integrating shell scripts with selenium
body: <p>I have a situation where we would like to run our Selenium test suite, but
  at certain points in the process we would like to execute a shell command
  on our machine.</p>
  
  <p>Does Selenium have the capability of executing a shell command and to
  receive a response and then to act on those results? Is this possible? If
  so, how?
  thanks in advance.</p>
