[Mono-list] popen() from mono

[Kornél Pál]

Hi,

You should use Process.Start:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.start.aspx

It has support for standard input, output and error redirection.

Alternatively you can declare a P/Invoke call to popen but that will not
be platform independent.
