Code in C to make a module pause?

[Jason Gerfen]

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this seeing as it is 
more of programming question in response to how to make a list of 
system() calls pause()?

The reason I ask is because PAM works as a shared object so there is no 
interaction with the user / keyboard (after the login information is 
passed) and I would like to use the pause() function to require the 
module to wait until a system() command has finished, without the need 
to fork the process.

Anyone accomplish this before?
