Description
Currently when I try to run a shell command from Shortcuts using a-Shell, it throws an error if the command's return code is nonzero. Would it be possible to alter this behaviour so that commands such as ping can be used? [Here's a simple shortcut to demonstrate the issue](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/73814786c9604029a09f06d974cbbfb2) - the shortcut stops because ping returns 2 and there's no way around this I can find.
What could be really helpful is to have options that control what the Execute Command action returns - command output, return code, or maybe even both as a dictionary.
Thank you!
(I've attempted to work around this by using Python, Lua, Perl, and wasm but they all failed in different ways… I can provide details if needed.)
