Re: Shell commands in linux

[Muthu <muthu811@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Cheedu,

	The following example is a simple use of the "system" in C

/*Start of Program*/
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
	system("clear");	/* This line executes the "clear" command of the shell
*/
	system("foo");		/* This line executes a shell script called "foo" which
has execute permission*/
}
/*End of the Program*/

HTH

regards
Muthu
