Hello,

I was asking myself how to execute a command line, so I went to use Unix.shell, but now it seams to be deprecated.

What should I be using instead?

Not TProcess, because I don't know the exact path of what I am calling, I would like to use something in the path.

I also need something that works on all OSes (yes, I know that UNIX unit wouldn't).

unix.fpsystem

Note that this is dangerous (it allows an attacker to override whatever you are calling with something else, simply by changing the path). Make sure this is never done from a general consumer app or something which might run with elevated privileges.

There is no such OS-independent function afaik.
