calling Unix commands from external C programs

Having masterd calling external C procedures in Oracle 8.0.5 I now want to
be able to run Unix(AIX) commands(and get return code) from such a C
routine.



Currently I am using DBMS_PIPE but this is a pain as it needs a daemon
running to listen for messages.



Is there a definitive piece of C code anywhere that I can use to run Unix
commands?



One complication....I want to run some commands remotely via rsh(and get the
return codes from those commands(rather than from rsh))
