Yes, that egg was pointed out to me. It's a neat egg, but I feel more complicated than necessary 9 times out of 10.

Hello,
  If I understand this description correctly, the runcmd egg has this
functionality. Take a look at its documentation and see if it would

Could we get something akin to (system->string) added to Chicken
somewhere? Summary from:

http://practical-scheme.net/wiliki/schemexref.cgi?system-%3estring

"Appends all strings, then calls the result string as a command, and
collects the output from the command into a string to be returned. See
system."

I am using the following code, which just takes a single string:

(define (system->string cmd)
  (string-chomp (with-input-from-pipe cmd read-all)))

Either the library or posix units look like good candidates to me.
