Is there a julia package for running shell commands which can take command line arguments?

Welcome to the julia discourse.

You can run shell commands dircetly from the REPL. No packages required. This functionality is documented [here](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/running-external-programs/#Running-External-Programs).
