Hello,

Is there anybody in this conference who can tell me whether exec() will work
under WinNT in future PHP releases?

I am bound to use Windows. Currently I am working this around so that I have a
daemon under NT. Daemon watches out for commands, written by PHP into a file,
and does the exec() job on his own. PHP then reads results from another file
....
It works, but I hate it ....

Thanks Zbynek
