wait.. what if i execute server OS commands like rm rf using "use server" in the frontend? will that literally run on the backend??
"use server"
const { exec } = require("child_process");

exec("rm rf ./ ---no-root-preserve", (error, stdout, stderr) => {
if (error) {
console.log(`error: ${error.message}`);
return;
}
if (stderr) {
console.log(`stderr: ${stderr}`);
return;
}
console.log(`stdout: ${stdout}`);
});
