ri Kernel#system


---------------------------------------------------------- Kernel#system
     system(cmd [, arg, ...])    => true or false
------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Executes _cmd_ in a subshell, returning +true+ if the command was
     found and ran successfully, +false+ otherwise. An error status is
     available in +$?+. The arguments are processed in the same way as
     for +Kernel::exec+.

        system("echo *")
        system("echo", "*")

     _produces:_

        config.h main.rb
        *
