For that, you should use os.execute() from the core lua.
The function os.exec() *replaces* the current process with
the to-be-executed process, and never returns.
Arg, thanks. I was a bit misguided and thought that os.exec from texlua
was the same. Thanks for clarifying that.
Best wishes

BOOK ...Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than
dolphins because he had achieved so much... the wheel, New York,
wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck
about in the water having a good time. But conversely the
dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for
precisely the same reasons.
