question about #exec

Are there any obvious errors in the html code below? All except the #exec
command function as would be expected, but there is no action from
exectst.cgi - a compiled c program that's shown under the html code.

This is being tested from one of panix.com's shell accounts which, I
beleive, will accept html code with an #exec command.

All suggestions welcome - Hul

--- html code
<html>
<head><title>Title for exectest</title></head>
<body>
exec test -

</body>
</html>

--- c program
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("Content-type: text/html%c%c",10,10);
printf("EXECTST is complete\n");
exit(0);
}

You may have to name the file in a specific way (e.g. as a .shtml file),
or set the X (execute) bit on the file. That sort of question is best
answered by someone who knows about the configuration of your host's
webserver.

Thanks Tim. The lack of a .shtml desigination caused the problem.
