How to start a C program from Erlang node

[suresh saragadam]

hi raimo 
 
using os:cmd("dir") i started the c exe file but was started in backend process, 
i am unable to see the c node window  for online process going on,
 
how can i make c node visible,
 
the same way  when i am using erl_call the erlang node is started in backend
 
i have erl_interface established, i just want to execute c exe from enode, 
i dont want to handle any return message, 
 
erl_interface is done to handle the messages between c node and erlang node
 
thanking you

Try
os:cmd("dir").

or

open_port({spawn,"find"}, Options)

if you need to analyze output. But then you have to write a loop
that receives messages from the port and so on. Try the above
command in the shell and then:
flush().
to see what messages the port generated.
