Good info source on "shelling" processes from Kylix

Hello,
Can someone give me a URL to a solid resource on how to shell processes from
Kylix 3 Pro? I know how to do this sort of thing in Window/Delphi (Shell
Execute/Create Process, etc.), but now I need that knowledge under Linux.
Also, I would want to know how to capture/redirect the standard [input /
output / error] pipes.
Thanks.

Please start by typing "info libc" in command prompt.

Libc.System (CommandStr+' '+params+' &');

Be aware that shelling processes DOES NOT WORK while running
from inside the IDE unless you disable the "integrated debugging" flag
(Tools->Debugger Options)

Here you got source for capturing the stdout:

A component, doing the same:

The sites are in german but i guess you find the source :)

Hello Robert,
For simple stuff a Libc.system call will
probably take care of the job.
