As a general run on an Unix server httpd is run as user and group "nobody".
> I have been looking through the docs and found no help on either
> finding which user the EXEC'ed commands run as, or how to specify which
> user they should run as. I tried exec, system, and passthru running a
> batch file that would write %USERNAME% to a file. And all three
> functions wrote nothing. They would however write "hello world". Has
> anybody else run into this.
>
> I tried exec("test.bat");
> test.bat:
> echo %USERNAME% > test.txt
>
> when run from a command line it resulting in "Charles"
> when run from a webpage it resulted in "ECHO is on."
> if I added a line "echo off" above the echo username it resulted in
> "ECHO is off." again only from the webpage.

> In essense I need to update a DNS server through a web page. It works
> if the script is local but not if it has to update a different server.
