Well, mostly good - at least tex is running (before it wouldn't even run).

Now, I need to run this from a cgi script on a webpage (basically, I'm 
hoping to generate dvi and ps files as they are needed).

So, what now happens is that all the output from running tex is displayed 
on the webpage.  How do I redirect the output from this to /dev/null ?  
(So, I still want it to create a .dvi file, but I want all the tex 
debugging info to not be displayed).

I tried running
system("cd /path/to/latex/files; latex filename.tex > /dev/null");

and that didn't work.

Thanks for any help,
blake
