Subject: Trouble with system() on SunOS

Hi all,

I am facing trouble with a system call on one of my tool: XmlChecker


* The script
-- test.rb
system "echo 'Here is the tool'"
system "which XmlChecker"
system "echo '$PATH def'"
system "echo $PATH"
system "XmlChecker -V"

* The execution:

[578] XmlChecker -V
v1.9
[579] ruby -W0 test.rb
Here is the tool
/projects/fqdbdatamig/tools/prod/bin//XmlChecker
$PATH def
[...]:/projects/fqdbdatamig/tools/prod/bin/:.
[580]

Note that I ran the script with -W0 to avoid "warning: Insecure world
writable dir /teams/com_fqd_dev/tools, mode 040777" messages.

What is wrong with that ? The system call does not read the $PATH var ?
Why 'echo' ran well ?

Many thanks for your support,

Gal'
