Hi Aitor,

I think, the fgets outside the loop is not required. I think it can be
done this way:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
FILE * fp;
char str[1024];

fp = popen ("/usr/lib/netman/bin/backend 6", "r");

if (fp == NULL) return -1;

  while (!feof (fp))
  {
    fgets (str, 1024, fp);
    printf ("%s", str);
  }
  pclose (fp);
  return 0;
}


The reasoning behind my version:
If file fp is 0 in length feof(fp) should return true (non zero) which
means the loop does not start. if fp is not zero in length the loop
starts, fgets reads the first line and printf print it to the screen.
This continues until feof(fp) returns non zero (true).
