But does this mean that on UNIX based systems, in cases where you don't have to do anything (or have to wait) for the child to terminate, it is wiser to use system() than doing c Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) pid_t pid = fork(); if (pid==0) { exec(...) } else if (pid != -1) { wait(status); } pid_t pid = fork(); if (pid==0) { exec(...) } else if (pid != -1) { wait(status); } because for one, it is shorter to write , and second, it is cross-platform (which is pretty much my aim)?
