unix_s

shell (sh) command execution, no output

Calling Sequence

unix_s(cmd)

Arguments

cmd: a character string

Description

Sends a string cmd to Unix for execution by the sh shell. The standard output is redirected to /dev/null. Unix execution errors are trapped.

*NOTE* that only the last shell command error is reported when a list of command separated by ";" is sent: this is not recommended.

Examples

if getos() == 'Windows' then 
  unix_s("del foo");
else 
  unix_s("rm -f foo"); 
end
