Perhaps this should be:
execl(PTH_PATH_BINSH, "sh", "-c", cmd, NULL);
Just a thought. Should you also verify that the PTH_PATH_BINSH file is
actually executable when system(NULL) is called? I'm not sure what the
POSIX rules say about this (it's non-trivial, since it depends on the
owner, group, and other permissions, as well as whether the euid is 0 or
not).
