So it always executes system() with the initial content of the entry. The compound command sh st1.sh 1-10;20-30;40-50;60-70 consists of 4 commands: sh st1.sh 1-10 20-30 40-50 60-70 which is a nice illustration why you should not use system() but instead a function from the g_spawn() family. Also, using fixed-size buffers with no overflow checking and then asking why something does not work for larger input is asking to be flamed...
