how to execute a shell script of linux

[coolwater]

I'm new commer for php. Recently, I'm trying to run a linux shell script by script below:

<?
exec("/home/script/sendemail");
echo "successful done!";
?>

The shell scirpt "sendemail" seems like this:

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/project
cp osa.org osa.org.old
rm -f osa.org

Bur after my runing php script, nothing happened in linux, I tired others functions such as system() and passthru, and still got nothing runing. Could anybody tell me what's wrong with my script? Thanks! :p 😉

Is this code part of or an entire web page, or are you trying to do this via the PHP CLI ?

[dta]

are your permissions set and the script chmoded?

otherwise that looks good

also look into shell_exec() and have the bash script return something when it executes just to debug/test it

(edit)
just thought about this too- is safemode on??

I have already figured out the problem. It's about previlege in linux, not about my php script. Thanks guys!🙂
