char outbuf[ BUFSIZ ];
int outlen = BUFSIZ;
run_shell_command( "ls -l", NULL, outbuf, &outlen);
If you need to provide standard input to the command, the
second parameter can be used for that.

That's up to you.
If you can reverse the action of this shell command fairly easily
(and reliably!), then run the command in the ACTION pass, and run
the reverse command in the UNDO pass.
If you can't reverse the action, then run the command in the COMMIT
pass. (And make sure you validate the request properly!)
