I use GNAT.OS_Lib.Non_Blocking_Spawn for various things. That may not
be exactly what you want, but look at GNAT.OS_Lib to see what's
available. (You may want the blocking spawn.)
I assume you're using GNAT, of course. Use the "locate" shell command
to find g-os_lib.ads, and then read the section of it on sub-processes.
Good luck,
