Re: temp file not deleted with webmin?

[Support <su...@ea...>]

After furture testing and using the following print to browser command,


open(OUTPUT, "/usr/local/execute/fire 2>&1 |");
while(<OUTPUT>) {
print;
}
close(OUTPUT);

I noticed that "deleting temp file..."  appears, but when I check no temp
file is deleted.  I am in a daze...  I use shell the temp file is deleted,
but when using Webmin, the file is not affected.

==== observations ====
1.) I am using webmin as root - so privledges should not be the problem
2.) program being executed by webmin module is a C++ program
3.) C++ program calls on a "shell SED file"
4.) Using Shell (root) or Telnet (limited privlidges) everything works well
5.) Using Webmin, C++ program is excecuted and ends properly, but "temp"
file not deleted
6.) I am going crazy...

Thanks,

Diego
