Here is my code:
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
ofstream out;
out.open("/root/test.data");
for (int x = 0; x < argc; x++)
out << argv[x];
out.close();
return 0;
}
It works fine from the command line, but when I try to send mail to it
the file isn't written...
