ada making linux script calls

[tony gair]

Hi Gang,
      (ada purists close your eyes now...you will not like this question and
I'm forgotten to wear my asbestos underpants....)

has anyone managed to successfully call a shell script in linux from within
an Ada Program or task,
( or does anyone know how?)

is there a package or library for this ?

Hi,

with Gnat.Os_Lib;

...

Success : Boolean;

....

OS_Lib.Spawn (
    Program_Name => "/bin/bash", -- On a DOS try "c:\command"
    Argument_List => new Gnat.Os_Lib.Argument_List'(
        1=> "myscript.sh"
    ),
    Success => Success
);

http://sourceforge.net/projects/fu-scan/

for it--which is in the source--because florist was so clunky and didn't 
compile on Slackware 8--the 3.14 versions does though.....
