        This function expects a  string as last pushed {\em e\_str}
        value. The string is executed through a {\em system()} call (if this
        fails, an error is issued) and the standard output produced by the
        call is returned as a list, one element for each line. If the list
        contains zero elements the command has failed. A command not producing
        any output will at least result in a list having one (empty) string.
