Hello everyone,

My boinc application (for linux) has an execlp() function inside the code to call another perl file in the same folder for the task.

I tried many times and finally found out that this execlp() functino was permission denied which caused the whole application failed.

The permission problem still exists even after I tried 'chmod 777 /usr/bin/boingmr' in the client side and invoke './boincmgr' by root in client. It is obvious that when the application was downloaded from the server, it was assigned limited permission in the client side.

I am not sure whether I could assign executing permission for the application when it was downloaded from the server , or I have no way to execute execlp() but have to put all code inside one executable file in this case.

Any idea is well apprecaited. thanks!

This is fixed. You have to specify the file in execlp() to be executable , boinc doesn't take care of it if it is not an executable file ( files such as .pl, sh)
