Asking a C program to call a bash script

sceadu · 07-28-2005, 04:49 AM

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

That should be

Code:

int returnvalue = system ("ls");

Argument is a const char *
