Thread: Bash script in c

Hi! I'm trying to call another c program via shell script in c, but it just pop-up and close again.. here's my code:

Code:

char* command = "";        
char temp[MAX_LENGTH] = "";        

sprintf(temp, "gnome-terminal -e 'bash -c \"./Isopropyl %s\"'", editor -> filename);
command = malloc(strlen(temp) + 1);
        
if(command == NULL)
     return;

strcpy(command, temp);

system(command);

Edit: The title is incorrect I'm sorry, It should be "Shell script in c"

You don't need any of that command stuff.

You can just do system(temp); after the sprintf.

You should also do
printf("Cmd=%s\n", temp);
as well, to verify what you're actually trying to pass off to gnome-terminal.

You should also verify that Isopropyl is also in the current working directory.
