Subject: system() Methods in CGI Scripts Not Working

There's probably a very simple explanation for this, but here 'goes:

I have a few CGI scripts. A couple of them make system() calls to launch 
shell scripts. These scripts work fine on the command line, but when I 
launch the exact same script by visiting it in my browser, the page 
loads indefinitely.

I think this indicates a permissions problem. Is there anything I can do 
to circumvent this? The server I'm running on is one I don't control.
