If I understand right, you want to call an executable from within your
program?
For linux it is system, (I have never had the opportunity to play with a
Sun before)
>From the man page (abbreviated to prevent flaming):
<MAN>
NAME
system - execute a shell command
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
int system (const char * string);
DESCRIPTION
system() executes a command specified in string by calling
/bin/sh -c string, and returns after the command has been
completed. During execution of the command, SIGCHLD will
be blocked, and SIGINT and SIGQUIT will be ignored.
CONFORMING TO
ANSI C, POSIX.1, proposed POSIX.2, BSD 4.3
</MAN>
I hope I got that right...
