Asking a C program to call a bash script

Hmm....I have never done this before.

Can I code a C program to run a script when certain condition occurs?
If yes, can someone kindly post an example.

Many thanks in advance.

Doesn't "system" do that?

Code:

#include <stdlib.h>



int runSomething;



runSomething = system ( ls );

...

this is just a guess and clearly won't compile either :D

That should be

Code:

int returnvalue = system ("ls");

Argument is a const char *
