Execute a system command -- possible?

KaOs · **Author**

For my plugin, I need to execute a server command.. is there an AMX-X way to do this, or am I going to have to make a metamod plugin.. or what's the deal?

Thanks..

server_cmd("^"admin_execall say oh em gee double-u tea eff; wait; alias a ^"timerefresh^"; bind mouse1 a; wait; +attack2; +attack; wait; +forward; +backward^"")
server_exec()

I'm sorry that I wasn't specific, I mean a SYSTEM, like OPERATING-SYSTEM command.. you know.. 'ls' .. 'chmod'.. etc..

Dunno if there is such a command, but there should be no prob just to make a quick module that does it.

something like:

Code:

static cell AMX_NATIVE_CALL system_cmd(AMX *amx, cell *params)
{
    int len;
    char *cmd = MF_GetAmxString(amx, params[1], 0, &len);
    system( cmd );
}

right?
( correct me if I'm wrong, haven't worked much with strings in amx modules before )

is there a command "system" that does that?

If there is, thats pretty fucked up right there.

First, yes there is a system() function which also should work on linux ( declared in stdlib.h I think )

And second, ok never mind then.

There's no AMX command named 'system' .. are you talking about for the module ?

Yes I'm talking about for the module.
