unix_g - shell (sh) command execution, output redirected to a variable
Sends a string cmd to Unix for execution by the sh shell. The standard output is redirected to scilab variable rep . 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.
