You're right, but the solution is simple. I use the following library
function:
with Ada.Characters.Latin_1;
with System;
function Execute_Shell_Command
(The_Command : String) return Integer is
function Execute
(The_Command_Address : System.Address) return Integer;
pragma Import (C, Execute, "system");
The_Nul_Terminated_Command_String : constant String :=
The_Command & Ada.Characters.Latin_1.Nul;
begin
return Execute (The_Nul_Terminated_Command_String'Address);
end Execute_Shell_Command;
