Yes, and moreover that system seems to freeze pd interface until
you kill the process.
Does it happen to you too?
I haven't used [system] but what you describe does happen with
[popen] as I indicated in my original post
have you had similar troubles using [popen]?
That's the tricky part: ideally the process sent to popen/shell would
finish within one Pd timeslice so that it remains deterministic and
you know you can rely on the Pd's execution order. I think [shell]
spawns a thread for the process, meaning that the reply is non-
determinstic, so if you are relying on the reply from that process,
you have to do some extra work to handle execution order. For
example, just because you send a message to [shell] first, doesn't
mean you'll get its reply first.
