(To be precise, execvp(2) actually returns -1 upon error, which is got "translated" by ifplugd so that you see exit code 255). It's not limited to "no such file" case, so how can you be sure it's a "no such file" error?
Also, you said you intend to run a shell script. Have you built a shell in BusyBox? I would be surprised if you made such a newbie mistake. _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
