executing a command on system() in C - linux

Question

I run the code below,

int main() {
  char settime_parameters[13]= "042122142013";
  char command[25];
  sprintf(command, "date %s", settime_parameters );
  printf("%s\n",command);
  system("commad");
}

and I get this output:

date 042122142013
sh: 1: commad: not found

however, if I run date 042122142013 on the terminal, it works fine and changes the system time. I wonder why it does not work when I execute it through the system() ?

Thank you.

Answer 1

You need this:

system(command);

without the quotes.

Answer 2

system("commad");

should be

system(command);

without quotes
