Comment (by ttcoder):
@axel in your comment:9 I believe you've pinpointed the heart of the
matter.. I'm digging into this as this originally just annoyed me for
Qupzilla but now I see this issue also prevents our stations from using
our "Network Preflet" so it's more important.
NetworkPreflet is a small window that displays network related info. In
previous hrevs it worked the same when launched from Terminal or Tracker.
But now, e.g. this line
{{{
int res = system("grep 'sshd:' /etc/passwd");
}}}
will return 0 when run from Terminal, yet it returns 2 when run from
Tracker.
So I've modified it like thus:
{{{
int res = system("grep 'sshd:' /etc/passwd 2> /boot/home/test");
}}}
And the file contains this:
{{{
grep: write error: Bad file descriptor
}}}
Very telling, no ?
