Pb with exec

[Anon]

Hello,
I've got a pb with exec() command.
I try to execute a command that contain a variable :

$server = toto;
$command="rsh $server -l user /home/truc.sh >
/etc/httpd/truc.txt";

echo $command;
All seems works fine at this step.
It display the right command :
rsh toto -l user /home/truc.sh >
/etc/httpd/truc.txt

But when I try exec($command) the command don't work

And if try the command with the name of the server directly without any variable it works!!
exec(rsh toto -l user /home/truc.....)

If someone could help me I'll be very happy
'Scuse my english :-)......

[wshost]

try: $server = "toto";

just an idea

Ok,sorry I've make 2 error writing my message
My code that don't work is

$server = "toto";
$command="rsh $server -l user /home/truc.sh > /etc/httpd/truc.txt";
exec($command);

and my code that work is

$command="rsh toto -l user /home/truc.sh > /etc/httpd/truc.txt";
exec($command);

I try this code on Sun Solaris

[wshost]

$command = "rsh";
$command .= " toto ";
$command .= "user /home/truc.sh > /etc/httpd/truc.txt";

exec($command);

Don't really know why that doesn't work for you, but try this and see what happens.
