Also I'm trying to finding some useful commands to build a system wide

I don't understand the question. You already have getenv() and system()
with your C library, right? (They are in Python, as well.)
I meant, what other system based functions there is in C? My programming
skills are little bit more than basics. I've heard that I can access to
the OS with functions getenv and system. What other same kind of
functions there is, or does those two functions open the whole "world"
of the OS?
I suppose it depends what you mean by system based.
$ info libc
Also note that, while getnv and system are in C, what actually happens
is quite system dependent. It really depends what you want to achieve.
What else I should to noticed before I start this kind of project?
wxWidgets? QT? I don't know them yet, but they might be a better choice.
(Though, any of wxWidgets, QT, and GTK can be used on various OSs. I have
my Python GTK app running on MSWindows as well as FC3 Linux.)
There is also XUL, but if anyone figures out a simple way to create
XPCOM services I'd love to hear about it...
