Don't invoke commands passed from userland this way for security reasons (it will run as root). IIRC it is asynchronous (starts the process and returns immediately) and you don't get stdin/stdout/stderr nor return value (will be collected by init), so you need the script to call you back in some way (proc file, sysctl, device, netlink...). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 'Bulb' Hudec <bulb@xxxxxx>
