ok.. linuxq3ded is a binary. The things is that is a server that I want to
run on-demand. I usually use nohup with it so I can close my telnet session
without closing it first.

Now I'm trying to run the same command form PHP and I can't..

I need to end the command line with an &. If I put it... the return value of
exec is 0. if I omit the & at the end of the command line, the return value
is 127

What does this numbers means?

Rafael

On unix a program which is a compiled thing is called a binary, check if you
have one and put the path in your command you had.. as I think thats why it
wouldnt be running
