Sorry, missed it by one bit, thought it was 0x7f :-)
0x7e I think is from bash, if it fails to launch an app/script..

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.

returned if bad.

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