Well, sort of.  In order to run a *C* shell command, as the original
poster specified, rather than a *Bourne* shell command, as "system()"
does on any valid implementation, you have to construct a Bourne shell
command that runs the C shell, asking it to run a C shell command....

In general, I'd recommend replacing the C shell command in question with
a Bourne shell command, if at all possible, and just using "system()".
