Thanks for all the replies. Because I want to drive the tool from a
Carbon app, I didn't think forking would work.
However, I found this sample code which suggests otherwise (http://
developer.apple.com/samplecode/MiniShell/MiniShell.html). I'll
investigate further.
Thanks again, your help is much appreciated.

Kevin,
You may be able to use popen for this, Stevens covers this in
sections 14.3 and 14.4 of Advanced Programming in the UNIX
Environment (first revision). I suggest reading through Chapter 14
though.
Thanks,

Please forgive me if this is not the appropriate list, but I've
not been unable to google the answer, or find it in Apple's dev
pages.
Is there any way to programatically interact with a UNIX tool from
a Carbon app? sysctl() gives me a one-shot run, but I'd like to
launch a tool, create some sort of a pipe to it, write to its
stdin, and read from its stdout.
Can someone please point me to a method to do this (or tell me I'm
insane)?
thanks,
