Answer 2

assuming the C# program is on the linux box, you use the process class to run a process

note: on linux Process.Start() will do a fork().

The problem my command not fille script it is tool ....

How can i translate and call it in vs on Linux Server ?

you need to capture the output and write to the file yourself.

// start process
using var process = Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo
{
    UseShellExecute = false
    FileName = "amass",
    RedirectStandardOutput = true,
    ArgumentList = { "enum", "-d", "test.com" }
});
// read std out
var output = process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();  
// wait for exit
process.WaitForExit();
// write out out
File.WriteAllText("~/FolderXTest/file.txt", output);

note: if the the output is large, then use streams. also you could create a shell script with the redirect and just execute the script. be sure to set the execute bit

using var process = Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo
{
    FileName = "myscript",
});
process.WaitForExit();
