unix_s - shell (sh) command execution, no output

### Calling Sequence

  `unix_s(cmd)`

### Parameters

- `cmd`: a character string

### Description

Sends a string `cmd` to Unix for execution by the sh shell. The standard output is redirected to /dev/null. Unix execution errors are trapped; *NOTE* that only the last shell command error is reported when a list of command separated by ";" is sent: this is not recommended.

### Examples

    if MSDOS then
      unix_s("del foo");
    else
      unix_s("rm -f foo");
    end
