Ok... I've been playing with this a little and I've found something interesting. Everything is resulting backwards. If I do system( NULL ) I get a 0 (zero) instead of the non-zero it's supposed to return. When I do system( "ls ../player" ) the output goes into the log and I get a non-zero back instead of the 0 (zero) it should be returning.. somebody want to explain this?

You should try using pipe instead of system, cause then you could see what's going wrong... Cause in this bit you posted just looks like there is no such files at `../../backup/v5.1/player/`. Like they suggested try typing the commands exactly as the mud is from the same folder the mud runs and see if that's the problem. And make sure it's not a permissions problem as well. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Valnir Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 11:50 AM To: 'Michael Barton'; [email protected] Subject: RE: system calls failing Ok.. I'm using system() because I'm doing actual shell commands, not just file work. I did tell perror to spit out whatever it could fine and here's what I got back... which boggles my mind since the folder and files are there.

Have you tried specifying /bin/mv or whatever explicitly? What do you do with stderr? Something might be logged. You might also check perror. Even though system() isn't documented as using errno, it does make an underlying call to fork, exec, waitpid, etc. --Mike On 4/19/07, Valnir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello again.
