how to? launch command with string of command line options
my description from another thread...

The other script I've got that I'd love to get working is one I wrote to combine a series of avi files using avidemux. to do this I wrote a script that takes the input files as the arguements, deduces the output file name and then because of avidemux's arguement procedure I have it create a set of strings that it needs to append to the call to avidemux for each file being added to the original. What I've done with this one is have it echo the required command to run which I can then copy and paste and it works fine, but it would be much nicer if I could get it to actually *launch* said command.
Can someone please tell me how to modify/add to this code so that it recognizes UNIX command options (all beginning with "-") and executes the command with options?
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv)
{
int i;
system("stty -echo");

The associated array would look like this after the data is read in

priority=10... (1 Reply)
How can we copy a command string from a previous command line and paste it into the cursor position on the current command line? I know that ^c will not work as the shell will interpret as an interrupt signal.

Hi,
I am writing a shell script to build Java options dynamically in a variable array and pass them to java.exe. If an option value contains a space, I cannot find a way to get it interpreted correctly. Here is my example:

Being new to awk I have a really basic question. It just has to be in the archives but it didn't bite me when I went looking for it.

uudemon
uudemon(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual uudemon(4)NAME
uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour, uudemon.poll - Administrative shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool
directories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invocations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons
SYNOPSIS
These shell scripts reside in the following directory:
/usr/lib/uucp
DESCRIPTION
All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automatically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the scripts, remove
the comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file.
This script reports status to the system administrator. It issues the uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the
results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID (uucpa) or
root. This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucppublic directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com-
mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1. This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background. This
script polls the systems listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file. The uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour
script. This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs the uudemon.hour script.
FILES
Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uudemon.poll files. Contains the uucp file.

Commands: cron(8), uucleanup(8), uusched(8), uuxqt(1)
