Does exec not call a system call specific to the OS being run.
I.e. if you're using exec on windows rm won't work will it (certainly not
W98) anyway, I think it's a problem that you need to run the script on
linux, which has an rm command, or replace the rm command with del.
I've not used exec so am only looking at the obvious but could be wrong, but
I'm sure others will comments if I'm wrong.
