@system(cmd:string)

This impure function hands the argument command to the command interpreter sh. The calling process waits for the shell to finish executing the command, ignoring SIGINT and SIGQUIT, and blocking SIGCHLD. A false boolean value is returned if an error occured (in this case an error message is issued).
