I usually go for [system] for simple shell related things and it works with echo perfectly (but once again its in ubuntu).

In theory, there is not any difference between OSX and GNU/Linux for [shell] and [system] and some more. They both have system(), popen(), fork(), exec(), and /bin/bash (except very old OSX).

It's usually when trying with the other OSes that things can go wrong. Windows needs different code for doing this, and has a different shell. Apple iOS would be like OSX but it disables those functions completely. Android can have /bin/bash but it's not there by default, and its libc is different.



In practice, [shell], [system], and [popen] the objects work quite a bit differently.
