exec() with pmset



Hi,
I am really not sure which list to post this to, but this list always seems
to help.

For some reason i can not make pmset work in my "authtool" which has a
setuid to have root privs,

case kMyAuthorizedHibernateNormal: {

/* Split the proc into parent/child. */

pid = fork();

/* Child code. */

if(pid == 0) {

fprintf(stderr, "HIBNOR\n");

execl("/usr/bin/pmset", "-a hibernatemode 3", NULL);

}

/* Parent code. */

else {

wait(&status);

fprintf(stderr, "HIBNOR : %d\n", status);

}

result = status;

break;

}


The code has to be forked and execl as system() will lose the root privs,
running that code however returns 13 or 256 (is there a way to know what
these values are?)
