alternatives exec() system function

33 New Member
Hi ,

Is there anybody who have any idea of any System Function in C/C++ for Sun-Solaris (unix) platform which can serve the alternative of execl() system function.

Actually I am calling a fork-execl() pair and then making an interprocess communication between these two(parent-child process). But the problem is that somewhere in exec() function which is working on some machines and failing on a few machines.

So anybody if have any alternative to exec() or fork()-exec() pair of system function questions then please reply.

Regards,
Raj Kumar Arora

I wonder if anyone has experienced something like this, as it seems truly bizarre and is causing me to tear out my hair (what little there is left of it).... The exec() function just suddenly stopped working, for no discernable reason. Here is the code: $execdir = $homedirectory."/".$genename."/".$rundir; // Run the Python script on the Exported text file(s).

Hi There, I'm trying to migrate a locally hosted page from windows to a private Ubuntu development server and one of the key bits of functionality (which used to work fine in Windows) was the ability for the page to start a file browser via PHP's exec() function. I can't get this working under Ubuntu though e.g. <?php exec('nautilus /var/www'); ?>
