VSCode Extension that Executes terminal command – Ubuntu

Trying to write an extension that executes the terminal command.

For example:
if I execute the sensors command in the terminal, it will show the CPU temperature. I want to create a command that prints this information into the terminal upon activation.

I have tried by placing it with registercommand like following.

let d = vscode.commands.registerCommand(sensors);
context.subscriptions.push(d);

Does anyone know where to put these type of terminal commands?

Environment:
Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

AMD Ryzen 3

    Used child_process to execute the terminal command from extension (One click output)

    
exec('sensors', (error, stdout, stderr) => {
    if(error){
        console.log(`error: ${error.message}`);
        return;
    }
    if(stderr){
        console.log(`stderr: ${stderr}`);
        return;
    }
    console.log(`stdout: ${stdout}`);
});

    One possible approach is to use Node.js’ child_process module, run the sensor command in a separate process with this, read the output and print that in an output channel in VS Code.
