[erlang-questions] Running multiple commands like os:cmd/1

[Gleb Peregud]

This solution won't work due to the fact that env variables changes in
subshells are not propagated to main shell.

At the moment solution 99.99% solution in the previous email works for
me. I have a feeling that a proper solution would have to reimplement
large part of the /bin/sh to make it really robust.
