The basic use of system() is to cause a process (program) to be run
from within another, thereby creating a new process. It's most basic
useage is pretty straight forward. For instance, to run the command
"ps -ax" from another program you would write:
system("ps -ax");
of course you would use error checking, watching return values, etc.
The general syntax is:
int system(const char *command);
See the man page for details, return values, etc.
