OK there was syntax problem i was able to run the command. But here comes another problem. The first command here creates the an environment, in that environment i need to execute the second command. Here nither system nor exec will do these. Untill I manually exit from environment the second command is not running. Once i exit from environment the second executes. But i need the second command to be executed in environment which was set by first command. Is it possible to do so? Please help!!!!
