Lines
172 command = "#{MiniMagick.processor} #{command} {args.join(' ')}".strip 173

174       if ::MiniMagick.use_subexec
175         sub = Subexec.run(command, :timeout => MiniMagick.timeout)
176         exit_status = sub.exitstatus
177         output = sub.output
178       else 
179         output = `{command} 2>&1`
180         exit_status = $?.exitstatus
