Re: g_spawn_asnyc -- What is wrong ?

[Tristan Van Berkom <vantr touchtunes com>]

try using:
        g_shell_parse_argv()
(that will just do the argv setup for you)

and remember that
        sprintf(text, "this and" "that");
will make text:
        "this andthat"
where as
        sprintf(text, "this and " "that");
will make:
        "this and that"

so your cmd is actualy:

"/bin/rmhello.txt"

instead of:

"/bin/rm hello.txt"

BTW:
isn't "remove()" from stdio.h platform indepentend ?
(I'm not sure about opendir()/readdir() from dirent.h
but I think thats standard too.)
