Hi,
In my app code, I’m using system() API to execute “my_command” like this:
int iRetVal = system( “my_command” );
Now, most of the time it works. But sometimes, the system() API doesn’t return at all. When I get suspicious of that, I use pidin to find out whats happening? It shows me this:
xxxxx (PID) sh- c my_command
I thought that the command “sh -c my_command” is the usual way system() API works. So, to test it, I used pidin when thing were running perfectly.
To my astonishment, the results were:
xxxxx (PID) my_command
This result is also the same when I run it from the command line.
Can anybody tell me whats wrong here?
I’m using QNX 6.4.0
