Not entirley sure I understood the question, but I *think* popen() might be the answer anyway...!

So something like (caution: from memory...)

	fd = popen("ps -aux", "r");

Ought to return a stream you can read from. Probably. I think.
Not C++ as such, but you can "do it in C++"...

Also - not sure how well popen() works on win32, I have used it sometimes and it's been OK, but I have heard bad reports... don't know if that matters to you though?
