call commands, lazarus

[marshall.robert]

Does anyone know how i could call/manipulate commands (like: apt-get, or poweroff) using lazarus? specifically 'ifconfig eth0 up' and '/etc/init.d/networking restart'

thanks

Perhaps exec() will do what you want? It's been years since I've coded in Pascal, but a quick google-search came up with exec().
