launching another app from LabVIEW

[mallicos]

Hello LabVIEW engineers,

Has anyone tried launching another application from LabVIEW? I presume the Library Function VI can call CreateProcess from the Windows kernel32.dll; is there another way, a generic LV method that will work on a Unix platform as well?

Thanks for any pointers!
