Ceding commandline control to child process

[Juan Zanos]

Say I want to launch a child process and allow the user to interact
with it until it returns. Is there an easy way to do this? It
seems to work just using the back ticks except that the child
process' output is never displayed.

Try system("command") instead of `command` (I'm presuming you don't
need to capture stdout or stderr).

Thanks, that works perfectly.
