[KLUG Members] Re: Apache Update

[Adam Bultman]

It looks as if it simply 'prints' the text that is outputted.  In PHP, if
you do a 'system' call, and that system call returns something (text,
whatever) that gets inserted into the web page you are displaying. In this
case, it looks like it's just kludging something in the code because of
the return values.  You might consider piping the output to a file that'll
get deleted every few dayso r so; that way you don't have to worry about
re-compiling in the event of errors, you just have to check that file.
Don't like the file? Symlink it to /dev/null (but then, I'm a logging
freak).

Check your C programmers manual for exact return values.
