Subject: Starting an app from the ioc st.cmd

How can I make the IOC boot script also start an external program? THere used to be an iocsh command "system", but it doesn't seem to exist anymore. ALternativerly, how can I export the PV header info ($(P), $(R) ) so an external program can read  them?
I have a few systems running the same IOC with different PV headers, and I want to allow the external code to pick up the current device's headers so I don't have to manually change them.
Probably a dumb question, but I can't see how to do it 🙂
Pete.
