Re: Launch/run other (terminal) programs from Octave on Linux

[George Kousiouris]

Hi,

I have never tried to do this, except for simple commands (cd, ls etc.) 
which can be run from the octave command prompt. However if it cannot be 
done for other programs, you can use a shell script that goes the other 
way around (runs octave as normal program) and combine the two programs 
you want (octave and the C program) in the shell script.

Hope this helps
George
