I'd like to run an application on my system after pushing a button on an Arduino shield. I've read that I need to use the runShellCommand() function, which can be accessed from a Process header. However when I add the #include <Process.h> line to my program I'm getting this error:

.build/uno/src/sketch.cpp:2:21: fatal error: Process.h: No such file or directory
 #include <Process.h>

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and I've installed Arduino software from repositories.

    Whatever unspecified guide you are following is at minimum incomplete, and probably outdated too. Note that nothing you do in an Arduino sketch on an Uno is going to run commands on a Linux box, without help of software/configuration on the Linux box to accept them. It may be better to come up with a program on the Linux box which waits for specific serial output from the Arduino sketch and then performs a preset command or operation. – Chris Stratton Nov 26 '15 at 17:09
  • "It may be better to come up with a program on the Linux box which waits for specific serial output from the Arduino sketch " Can you suggest me how to do that or direct me to some guide about that ? I really need this functionality – gosu94 Nov 26 '15 at 17:39

That only works on an Arduino Yún (as described in this tutorial).
