There is no shell in LIST mode so setting a PATH variable doesn't have the effect you are looking for. You need to provide full paths to files/binaries, such as `/bin/bash`. Edit: No need to be an a$$ to people taking time out of their lives to help you.	[reply] [d/l]

So then how would you use system() if your program's path name has spaces in it?	[reply]

You can use $WHAT in foo.sh like this. Notice the space. `system('env', 'WHAT=bar', '/Users/onelesd/Work/space/a space/foo.sh') ;`	[reply] [d/l]

From what I've read it seems as though I'm supposed to use LIST mode?	[reply]

There's no "supposed to" about it. Use the multi-arg form if you want to run a program. Use the single-arg form if you want to execute a shell command.	[reply]
