SYSTEM invokes a new instance of /bin/sh to execute the commands
handed to it.  That shell and everything it knows about goes away
when it dies.

You want to use the USER command to get the output of "flog" into
your filePro process.  (You may have to write a shell script that
reads its standard input and passes it to "flog".)
