I want run the command in subject from c-shell prompt. The problem is it goes through .login and runs /bin/ls only. I tried % /bin/sh -c "/bin/ls -l -R" it works as expected. What are the other ways of doing this. How does shell escape functions handle this in a C program using execv () ? Thanks for any help in advance. -- Purush -- R.

I don't believe .profile is invoked when /bin/sh -c is used. Only at
login if argv[0] is "-sh". I tried this under csh on Sun OS, and
Intel System V Release 4 version 2.0 and had no problem getting it to
recognize the -l -R options.

The C program can call system(), which essentially does the same thing
or if using execv(), they will build up the argv vector and pass it to
execv().
