Vit, the last things. After that I consider this topic closed.

Yes, I forget to write it.

Now for metapost:
shell_escape= f in texmf.cnf so \write18 is disabled.
$>texexec --pdf f No circle; it seems right, because f.log says systems : randomizer starts with 797065300 mpost -progname=mpost -mem=metafun f-mpgraph system()...disabled.
$> shell_escape=x ; texutil --purgeall; texexec --pdf f As before.
$> shell_escape= ; texutil --purgeall; texexec --pdf f As before.
$> shell_escape=t ; texutil --purgeall; texexec --pdf f Circle ok; again it's right, f.log says systems : randomizer starts with 800565448 system(mpost -progname=mpost -mem=metafun f-mpgraph)...executed.
$> shell_escape=f ; texutil --purgeall; texexec --pdf f
Strange:circle again.
I found into texexec.pl
if (($ENV{shell_escape} eq 'f') || ($ENV{SHELL_ESCAPE} eq 'f')) {
$AutoMPRun = 1 ;
}
Hence texexec/texutil has called mpost instead of \write18; it's like shell_escape=t
(for this task, not in general sense, of course)
Hmm, it's not crystal clear:
shell_escape=f means "shell_escape is False"
shell_escape=t means "shell_escape is True"
but for processing f.tex 'True and False are the same'
$>shell_escape=; texutil --purge; texexec --pdf --automprun f Circle ok; it seems right, because I force execution of mpost.
Again, many thanks luigi
