A call is being made in a c++ program (that is being started by a shell script)



System("shutdown -r now")


On just one embedded processor I am getting



sh: shutdown: not found


On this same processor I am able to call shutdown from the shell. It resides in /sbin/shutdown and this is in PATH.



If I change the c++ call to



System("/sbin/shutdown -r now")


it works fine. However I am trying to understand what factors would cause this to only happen on ONE processor, if everything is the same.
