Bug #10364: Exec and system always return -1

From: thomas@dipcard.com Operating system: RedHat Linux 2.2.16 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: Exec and system always return -1 I believe my problem has been described earlier as bug #7324 but that bug has been closed, and I couldn't figure out how to follow-up on a closed bug ...so here comes: It seems like exec and system calls always return -1. Under 'User Contributed Notes' at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php jase@sensis.com writes: 'When I compiled php with "--enable-sigchild", all calls to exec set return_var to -1. When I recompiled without "--enable-sigchild", all calles to exec set return_var to the expected value.' My PHP is compiled with "--enable-sigchild". I haven't tried without it. I have put some test-code at http://intra.dipcard.com/people/tlk/return-values/. regards Thomas L. Kjeldsen -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=10364&edit=1
