LCD Smartie

OK! What?

Forgive me if someone has already invented this, I promised I looked and did a search.
I'm looking for a dll or plugin to execute .exe's and .bat's.
I'm hoping to use it with the menu plugin, to, basically run an irrigation controller.
Thats right, I'm going to attempt to use LCD Smartie to control an embedded system.

I need to, via the menu, end an .exe and stop a removable disk, and having an option to shut it down would be nice. I know how to do all this with such a plugin, but so far the closest thing I have found is MORA's, ExecCmdLine, however I couldn't get it to work.
I'm not sure such a thing will be possible, at least with this version or via the menu, as I know how Smartie hates running a plugin in a plugin, but if anyone could help I would be very gratefull as it is the only thing stopping me so far.

Have checked the actions?

I've had a look in actions, and it appears not to be possible.
I need smartie to open an .exe or .bat when I go to an menu item.
Theres a $file command but thats for text files I think.

Is "If __ then Exec[c:\autoexec.bat]" so hidden in the actions menu?

I have "Execute[C:\autoexec.bat]", but where did you pull the "IF" command from?

Well I didn't know that smartie had a built in IF command, but it works.
Thank you for your help, limbo & caesar, I should be able to make some progress now.

If anyone wants to know how I go with this, I'll post up progress/results ect. For the record, I am working on a home automation system/irrigation controller.

Again, many thanks, Blaze.
