exec

The command to execute a shell command.

XSPEC> exec <shell command>

This command executes a shell (ie. an operating system) command, and then returns control to XSPEC after it is completed. Note that if your system is setup with the standard TCL distribution, shell commands entered at the XSPEC prompt will be executed automatically if they do not match any XSPEC or TCL command.
