    You need to print it to a buffer using sprintf.

    Code:
    char buff[1000];
    sprintf(buff,"curl -k -X PUT https://%s/ProductActions/PowerCycle -O '/tmp/pwrc' 2>&1", naslov);
    system(buff);
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
