We usually use a compiler with a graphical user interface, to compile our C program. This can also be done by using cmd. The command prompt has a set of steps we need to perform in order to execute our program without using a GUI compiler.
Answer. Step0: Install C-Program Compiler (gcc) You will need a C compiler to do this already installed, I use GCC. If you are on a Windows computer, you can run the command gcc -v to check if it's already installed.
Sounds like a trivial use-case for the system() function:
system("asterisk -rx reload"); If you need very fine-grained control of the child process there are better ways, but this is simple to get going.
This call starts a shell (such as bash) to run the command, which is why I removed the quotes around reload; they're pointless for a single word and will be removed by the shell and never seen by the started program, anyway.
