RE: [cobalt-users] shell tools OT

["Overall, Matthew (MDH UK)" <Matthew.Overall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Talking of Shell stuff. I am having a real problem. I have a shell script...

#!/bin/sh
cp index.html index2.html

And I want to invoke this from a php script

<? Exec( "./copy" ); ?>

However, 'httpd' does not have permission to create a file in the web directory, so I need to run the shell script as 'nobody' 
No matter how hard I try  using chmod u+s 'script' etc etc I just cannot get that script to create index2.html when called from php. 

Does anyone know where I am going wrong - I think I must be making a dumb amateur mistake somewhere!!!

Many thanks,

Matty
