Well, clearly it is possible to achieve the broad objective of
starting a new program with child_process.spawnSync(). In my case, I
do not need the nodejs process afterwards, I do not need to capture
the output of the program, and the only thing that node would be doing
is waiting to call exit() with the right value.
"Just use perl" is simpler, although I think I may try
require('ffi').Library(null, { 'execve': .... })
