No, that will not work. To make things simple I would suggest to write the bash script in a separate file and call it from C program by passing the required arguments:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    puts("Starting now:");
    system("/path_to_script/script_name arg1 arg2 arg3");
    return 0;
}

This way it will be easy to maintain.

NAME
shevek::istring - shevek::istring is a C++ version of scanf. SYNOPSIS
#include <iostring.hh> Public Member Functions istring () Create a new istring with no data. istring (Glib::ustring const &str) Create a new istring with data. void init (Glib::ustring const &str) Set new data to an existing istring. void push () Push the current position to the stack so it can be restored later. int pop (bool keep=false) Pop the last pushed position from the stack. void reset () Set the current position to 0, but don't change the stack. Glib::ustring rest () const Get remaining string. void skip (Glib::ustring::size_type p) Skip some characters. bool operator() (Glib::ustring const &format) Read a constant string from the input. template<typename T1 > bool operator() (Glib::ustring const &format, T1 &arg1) Read a string containing one argument from the input. template<typename T1 , typename T2 > bool operator() (Glib::ustring const &format, T1 &arg1, T2 &arg2) Read a string containing two arguments from the input. template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 > bool operator() (Glib::ustring const &format, T1 &arg1, T2 &arg2, T3 &arg3) Read a string containing three arguments from the input. template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 , typename T4 > bool operator() (Glib::ustring const &format, T1 &arg1, T2 &arg2, T3 &arg3, T4 &arg4) Read a string containing four arguments from the input. template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 , typename T4 , typename T5 > bool operator() (Glib::ustring const &format, T1 &arg1, T2 &arg2, T3 &arg3, T4 &arg4, T5 &arg5) Read a string containing five arguments from the input. template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 , typename T4 , typename T5 , typename T6 > bool operator() (Glib::ustring const &format, T1 &arg1, T2 &arg2, T3 &arg3, T4 &arg4, T5 &arg5, T6 &arg6) Read a string containing six arguments from the input. template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 , typename T4 , typename T5 , typename T6 , typename T7 > bool operator() (Glib::ustring const &format, T1 &arg1, T2 &arg2, T3 &arg3, T4 &arg4, T5 &arg5, T6 &arg6, T7 &arg7) Read a string containing seven arguments from the input. template<typename T1 , typename T2 , typename T3 , typename T4 , typename T5 , typename T6 , typename T7 , typename T8 > bool operator() (Glib::ustring const &format, T1 &arg1, T2 &arg2, T3 &arg3, T4 &arg4, T5 &arg5, T6 &arg6, T7 &arg7, T8 &arg8) Read a string containing eight arguments from the input. Static Public Member Functions template<typename T > static T direct (Glib::ustring const &data, Glib::ustring const &format, T def=T()) Read a variable from given data and return it. Detailed Description shevek::istring is a C++ version of scanf. It uses templates to allow expanding it to user-defined types, but it still uses a format string to make it better translatable. Member Function Documentation template<typename T > static T shevek::istring::direct (Glib::ustring const &data, Glib::ustring const &format, Tdef = T ()) [inline, static] Read a variable from given data and return it. This allows using a shevek::istring in an expression without the need to create a new variable for it. If the input doesn't match the format, def is returned. int shevek::istring::pop (boolkeep = false) Pop the last pushed position from the stack. If keep is true or not given, the current position is restored to the last position. If it is false, the current position is not changed.
