Fail to run shell command

So this means my first attempt sends a command to another shell, while yours sends a command to the same shell I opened?

Not really: Julia doesn’t use a shell to run a program. It just runs the program directly.

With

run(`echo hello`)

you ask Julia to execute the program echo (Windows will look for echo.exe, echo.com, etc.) with argument hello. This program exists on Linux but not on Windows.

With

run(`cmd /k echo hello`)

you ask Julia to execute the program cmd with arguments /k, echo and hello. The program cmd.exe is actually a shell so that will execute a shell
