system() rountine returns: access: unix error (2) No such file or directory

[abhishekmendhekar]

Hi ,

I am running shell command through C program using system() routine.

I am executing "opcontrol --status" an executable using the this routine and I get the following error.
access: unix error (2) No such file or directory

But when I give the complete path to the executable it runs perfectly.

The executable is installed in "/usr/local/bin/"
And the path variable has this path.

What can be the possible issue?

Thanks
Abhishek.

Is the trailing slash in /usr/local/bin/ also in the PATH environment? If so, this is likely your problem. Please post the complete output of the PATH environment when you run your program.
