Well, if your script works from the command prompt, then it should work with
system(), passthru(), and exec().  I'd recommend doing this:

<pre>

<?php
   passthru("your script filename here");
?>
</pre>


That will show you the output of attempting to run the script from within
PHP.  Odds are that your script is executing, but isn't running in the
working dir that you expect.

Good luck

hi
thanks for the reply.
Using the exec() command i am able to call a single command.
I have 4 commands for executing, so i created a script file and tried to
pass it to exec() function but it is not executing.
How can a script file be executed?? is there any seperate function for that.

regards
arun
