   BZ on Ubuntu 10.4: system() call not wor   
   09 Nov 10 17:32:28   
   
   Hello everybody,   
      
   I've just updated my Linux box to Ubuntu 10.4 server and now it looks like the   
   system() call of the BZ scripting language no longer seems to work. What do I   
   do? Well, I've added a few lines to the opendoor.bz script like this:   
      
         case 10:{   
                   logdoor(8);   
                   system("ls -la /dev",1,0);   
                   break;   
      
   but now everytime I call this door option, I do not get any screen output. I   
   also tried this system() call with the nethack command, since this is what I   
   originally wanted to do. Now, nethack complainst that it has to be run from   
   within a terminal in order to work. Befor the update of my Linux box, this was   
   not an issue. Can someone give me a hint on how to get my system call to work   
   again (except for downgrading my system).   
      
   Thanks in advance,   
   lodger
