Last but not least, we could just > disable these functions :) Well, disabling them is not really an option. As for creating a new process and doing a chdir() there. These functions already create a new process. Would something like: popen("cd /path; cmd") do the trick? ie. prepend the virtual_dir chdir to the cmd string we pass to these functions. The chdir should be isolated to the spawned process. -Rasmus
