Invoking another executable is not a standard function in Ada like it is in a
typical scripting language. Thus you have to use OS calls, which means the
answer depends on the OS you are using.
We're getting there. But how do you want the executable to behave? Should it
run simultaniously with your already running Ada program? Should your Ada
program wait for the other executable to complete? Should the Ada program
terminate entirely in deference to the new executable? Does any information
need to be communicated between them, or is this a "fire and forget"
situation?
