I thought of that idea originally, but decided against it for two reasons:

(1) it'll confuse the heck out of people, and I'll get flooded with emails;

(2) Since the "exec" lines can contain ANYTHING, we really want to ensure that Emplode doesn't get p'offed by anything else that happens to be on such a line, so it is probably best to just have emplode ignore the whole line (by commenting it out).

Ugh, but that's life here

Thanks Mark... it is great to see the kernel exec thing working properly...

I am sorry I had to leave the version I was working on for so long...

Did you manage to get it working from the ftp daemon as well...? This is where I really got stuck trying to return the output. Would make installing software much easier to script from the PC side...

Hopefully sometime soon I will get a chance to come back and do some coding with my empeg. *sigh*

Cheers again,

Kim

Ah.. I was wondering who to give credit to here -- I'd forgotten whose code I picked up and worked on!

I've left much of the pipe stuff in the source, #ifdef'd out for now, because it has a remaining problem in that we cannot simultaneously wait4() for the child, and wait/grab pipe output for display. Solving this usually means yet another thread to mind the user command.

Later, much later..

Cheers! (and Thanks for doing much of the initial work!)
