In C there is popen() and system() to invoke external commands. Is there a more standardized way in C++ to do this using for instance STL and 'std::'?

No. BTW C++ was always designed with backward C compatibility in mind – Basile Starynkevitch Feb 10 '16 at 17:29

No. it's the same as the C one.
#include <cstdlib> and then use std::system("whatever your command is").
