DESCRIPTION
       This function runs a command on the system. The command is started in
       the background some time after the current probe completes. The command
       is run with the same UID as the user running the stap or staprun
       command. The runtime may impose a relatively short length limit on the
       command string. Exceeding it may print a warning.
