Function Documentation

int gu_runl (  const char  myname[], FILE *  errors, const char *  progname, ...  )

Run a command. This function provides a simple way to run a command and wait for it to complete. This is useful for commands which need to run some other command to do a part of the work. It isn't hard to write such code, but with proper testing of status returned by wait() it can get a little long. Also, centralizing it in this function will allow us to use spawn() in the future.
