.TH unix_s 1 "April 1993" "Scilab Group" "Scilab Function"
.so ../sci.an
.SH NAME
unix_s - shell (sh) command execution, no output
.SH CALLING SEQUENCE
.nf
unix_s(cmd)
.fi
.SH PARAMETERS
.TP 10
cmd 
: a character string
.SH DESCRIPTION
Sends a string \fVcmd\fR to Unix for execution by the sh shell. The standard 
output is redirected  to /dev/null.
Unix execution errors are trapped; *NOTE* that only the last shell command
error is reported when a list of command separated by ";" is sent: this is
not recommended.
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
if MSDOS then 
  unix_s("del foo");
else 
  unix_s("rm -f foo"); 
end
.fi
