exec system call

[weedus]

how can i write a c program to read in a command, not command line, and then pass what they enter into the exec system call and execute their command. the command can have any number of parameters

[rohit]

hope you are not making a SUID program :) ;)
read manual of
"man execlp,execl.exec,excve
"use strtokl to parse the command from the arguments

cheers

sorry typo mistake it's strtok


Find the next token in a string.

char *strtok( char *strToken, const char *strDelimit );
