[PHP] exec() won't start SAS job

[Curt Seeliger]

Folks,

I'm unable to get exec() to start a small SAS job on my RH 6.2 box. 
(I've got file permissions set correctly)  The code:

      $command="sas -noterminal -log $SASProgDir$JobName.log ".
        " -print $SASProgDir$JobName.lst $SASProgDir$JobName.sas";
     print("Spawning '$command'<BR>\n");   // DEBUG STUFF!!!!
      $ret=exec($command, $reply);
      print("ret is '$ret'<BR>\n");   // DEBUG STUFF !!!
      if($ret) {
          print("<BR>Ouch.  There was a system error spawning the program.");
          print("<BR><B>   '$prog'</B><BR>\n");
          //print("$ret<BR>\n");
          print("<pre>\n");
          for ($i=0; $reply[$i]; $i++) {
              print("$reply[$i]\n");
          }
          print("\n</pre>\n");
          niceErrorMessage();
          exit();
      }              

Results in the following SAS error:

   ERROR: User does not have appropriate authorization level for library
   SASUSER.  
   FATAL: Unable to initialize the options subsystem.
   (SASXKINI): PHASE 3 KERNEL INITIALIZATION FAILED.
   UNABLE TO INITIALIZE THE SAS KERNEL

The command above: 
  'sas -noterminal -log /usr/local/bin/apache/cgi-bin/sas/remotejob.log
   -print /usr/local/bin/apache/cgi-bin/sas/remotejob.lst
  /usr/local/bin/apache/cgi-bin/sas/remotejob.sas'

Can be executed without error in a command shell.  Any clues as to why
PHP is choking my SAS job would be appreciated.
