does the same for me as: shell> ls Note the shell, isn't actually a shell.. and not exactly the same as run. Maybe they are close enough, is is it bothering you? E.g. I couldn't run two shell commands this way: julia> run(`ls;ls`) run(`ls;ls`) ERROR: could not spawn `ls;ls`: no such file or directory (ENOENT) in _jl_spawn at process.jl:262 in anonymous at process.jl:415 in setup_stdio at ./process.jl:403 in __spawn#58__ at ./process.jl:414 in run at ./process.jl:530 shell> ls;ls shell> env [does what I expect, include list HOME] shell> echo $HOME ERROR: UndefVarError: HOME not defined [I'm on Linux, with Julia 4.0 here.] -- Palli.
