texte = For testing purposes, you should try and run the command you want as the user that WebCat is using. In this example, su # to root then su www # to www userand try your command. If that doesn't works, you can also try placing the command you want inside a shell script and run the script. If that doesn't work, try changing the owner of the script to some user who can run the program and then SUID the script, like this: chmod +s scriptnameThis will run the script with the rights that the owner of the script has (you must be root to run this).HTHJohn Peacock ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: Re: [shell]?
