Ville Skyttä suggested to change the line from

to

execle("/bin/sh","sh","-c",cmd,NULL,environ);

From execle man page: The list of arguments must be terminated by a NULL pointer, and, since these are variadic functions, this pointer must be cast (char *) NULL.

Based on that, correct would be: execle("/bin/sh","sh","-c",cmd,(char*)NULL,environ);

Well, normaly NULL is defined as (void *)0, which is a pointer...

As I don't have gcc 4.x running I need a confirmation from someone with gcc 4.x that this is still ok.
