Note Submitter: sgbeal at googlemail dot com ---- Side-note: regarding the API comment "For practical reasons, it is currently not allowed to have .. components in the path to the executable." It is still possible to pass the shell as the first command and a relative path to the script as the second, so this limitation/security mechanism is not much of one. "sh" can be used to run non-scripts with relative paths via something like this: $out = null; $rc= 0; exec('sh -c "exec /bin/../bin/ls"', $out, $rc); print_r( $out); echo 'rc = '.$rc."\n"; effectively bypassing any "security" gained by the ".." limitation.
