There are no "system commands".  There's just your program.

No.  Your application is the only thing running on the system.
There's no shell to which you can send command strings that
execute other programs.

No.

eCos doesn't come with a shell.  eCos doesn't have independent
processes that can be used to fork/exec other programs.
