I think that the shell script is invoked by using C's 'system'.
Something like:

    system("/path/to/gec.sh")

So, do you think that calling:

    system("sh /path/to_gec.sh")

would work? Or should I write:

    system("/bin/sh /path/to_gec.sh")

(in case 'sh' was not the in the path, or aliased to something else)?
