Running system commands

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

from v1.75

If you want to run system commands you can use !CMD command followed by the system command you want to run.  For example, in Windows if you want to see a quick listing of the current directory, you can enter:

 

>>>!CMD dir

 

or on Linux:

 

>>!CMD ls

 


By default, iKog, does not permit system calls.  To allow system calls use the command SYS ON and to prevent system calls use the command SYS OFF.  If system calls are not allowed, you will not be able to use the !CMD feature.  Disabling system calls also prevents them from being used when clearing the screen.


Use system calls carefully.

from v1.76

To provide you with some safety, ikog.py will not allow you to run rm, rmdir or del commands
