system_exec() returns an error code - therefore it must wait until the process it calls ends.
And, since the process is finished, you can just dump the output to a file, and use it:
include std/io.e include std/console.e system_exec("ls -la > lsoutput") object results = read_file("lsoutput",TEXT_MODE) display(results)
