yup thats the one.
Also struggling to think of a solution..
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.system sendEvent "; sh -c ' eips `whoami` '"
does actually print "root"... so maybe its not the user level...
Ah the joy of "unspecified behaviour"
EDIT and...
[root@kindle root]#
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.system sendEvent "; sh -c ' sleep 1
; eips `date | tr -d " "` '"
also works. (that sleep is just for you Silver :P)
The pattern appears to be that shells commands cant be invoked.. let me try a big binary direct..
