Hi,
I have tried to execute the graph graphSystemExecute.grf in my eclipse.
I am faced with the following error.
I am not sure since this is a unix command if it can be executed on the eclipse running on a Windows machine.
Is there any alternate solution for this??Please reply

Hello Evergreen,
Unix command can’t be executed on Windows machine. Example for Windows (graphSystemExecuteWin.grf) is also included in SimpleExamples project. What command would you like to execute?

Lets say I want to execute some shell script commands using SystemExecute of Clover then how should I do it?
The graphSystemExecute.grf in the examples projects does not execute on any unix servers.
It is just connected to UniversalDataReader and UniversalDataWriter.

In graphSystemExecute.grf you have command attribute set to:
```auto
cat
ls ${MY_DIR}
```
This is the batch file, that is executed.
