For the implementation of this system call, see the sys_execve() function in kernel at following link: http://lxr.linux.no/source/arch/i386/kernel/process.c#L667 After getting the file name in this function (which will be the path of the exe), check if it is the executable which you dont want to execute, just return relevant error code to user space.
