Re: system command returning unknown error.

That's what system() returns if it fails to execl() "/bin/sh" after fork()-ing, unfortunately it's not in the man page.
But I don't see how that could be caused by just not having root privileges.

Ok so I admit I read it wrong regarding the return status, always got
0 for everything else I executed so I assumed 0 good and only -1 was
returned if bad.

soo I am getting 32256 by executing    system("/sbin/shutdown -r now");
