open a program

[ts50cc]

Hi everyone,

sorry for my nube question.

Let's say that a tcl script is running. Is there any way that the tcl script causes the execution of another program?
Is there a specific keyword or sth?

Thanks for your time

Friendly,

Angel

Angel, i believe it is:
exec scriptname

where scriptname is the script and if it's not in the same directory you must provide the file path, eg.
/home/usr/example/scriptname

Actually,

scriptname

doesn't have to be a script, per se. exec takes any OS command as an argument. That is, anything you might execute from the command line.
