Req #61209 [Opn->Sus]: configurable shell for exec in linux (not always sh)

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61209&edit=1 ID: 61209 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: maarten at ba dot be Summary: configurable shell for exec in linux (not always sh) -Status: Open +Status: Suspended Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Program Execution Operating System: linux PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Well, yes, makes some sense, but would likely not work for escapeshellarg() and friends, and as such the details need to be figured out carefully. If you're still looking for this feature, please pursue the RFC process[1]. For the time being, I suspend this ticket.
