The function you're looking for is called 'system' and is in the System
module.
System.system :: String -> IO ExitCode
it does just the same as the C and Java versions.
BTW, one way you could have found this out is to search using hoogle:
http://haskell.org/hoogle/
searching for 'system' gives the one we want as part of the search
results
http://haskell.org/hoogle/?q=system
and links to the detailed documentation:
