SV: HowTo : Launch a program from a C program

[Johansson Henrik (Svensk Börsinformation)]

Hello to you too,

 

Do you want to retreive the output of the program then use popen("comand").

If you just want to execute the program and wait for it to return, use system("command").

if you want it to run in the background use first fork(), then exec("comand",....),

it's a little more complicated than the previous two. 

Check the man pages.  ;-)
