I want run the command in subject from c-shell prompt. The problem is 
it goes through .login and runs /bin/ls only. 
I tried 

% /bin/sh -c "/bin/ls -l -R"

it works as expected. What are the other ways of doing this. How does 
shell escape functions handle this in a C program using execv () ?

Thanks for any help in advance.
