More than likely, you are misusing system. If you are saying system( "csh" ); system( "ls -l" ); ... Then you are not understanding how system works. Everything system is executed it spawns a subshell which is destroyed on termination of the system call. Therefore, your csh does not last past the end of the first system call. To do this correctly, bundle all of your commands up into one system call and separate them with semicolons. system( "csh;ls -l" );
