Re: exu not working

new topic     » goto parent     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

Since 0177 is octal for 127 (why C uses a prefixed 0 for octal is beyond me),
it does tell us that its not system() thats returning 127, but exu.

I.e., system() is finding and running exu just fine. exu is the one returning
127.

Very strange, not sure why this is happening.
