Thanks
shellOut := Smalltalk system: 'sleep 5 && ls -l /etc && sleep 10'.
Transcript showCr: shellOut printString.
That worked a treat.
Is there anything one should be aware of when choosing between the two
ways of calling shell commands? The system: call above appeals since it
is synchronous and provides the shell output, but just wondering if
there is a situation when it is better to use the "Filestream popen:
dir" command.
And is there a way to get access to the standard error stream?
Thank you again
Stephen
