"My script"? What are you talking about? You have at least two -- a PHP 
script and a Python script. If you're having problems with the PHP 
exec() command, that's probably a problem with the PHP script and you 
need to take it up with a PHP list.

If it works fine, why are you showing it to us?

Unfortunately my crystal ball is broken, and I have a court order 
prohibiting me from reading people's minds, so I'm afraid I'm going to 
have to insist that you actually explain *what the problem is* instead 
of expecting us to guess.

What is the unsolved issue? 
What do you expect the above line to do? 
What does it do instead?

How exciting! And what happened then?
