[Mono-list] Launching external programs fromo mono programs

[Jonathan Pryor]

Use System.Diagnostics.Process.  See:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemDiagnosticsProcessClassTopic.asp
http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~lok/csharp/refdocs/System.Diagnostics/types/Process.html

And for good measure, a small example from the last URL:

              Process p = new Process("...", "...");
              p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
              p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
              p.Start();
              string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
              p.WaitForExit();
