 exec    (PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5) exec -- Execute an external program 说明string  exec ( string command [, array &output [, int &return_var]] ) 
   exec() executes the given
   command.
   参数
    - command
 
       The command that will be executed.
       - output
 
       If the output argument is present, then the
       specified array will be filled with every line of output from the
       command.  Line endings, such as \n, are not
       included in this array.  Note that if the array already contains some
       elements, exec() will append to the end of the array.
       If you do not want the function to append elements, call
       unset() on the array before passing it to
       exec().
       - return_var
 
       If the return_var argument is present
       along with the output argument, then the
       return status of the executed command will be written to this
       variable.
       
  
  返回值
   The last line from the result of the command.  If you need to execute a 
   command and have all the data from the command passed directly back without 
   any interference, use the passthru() function.
   
   To get the output of the executed command, be sure to set and use the
   output parameter.
   例
    例子 1. An exec() example 
<?php // outputs the username that owns the running php/httpd process // (on a system with the "whoami" executable in the path) echo exec('whoami'); ?>

  注释注: 如果你用此函数启动一个程序并希望保持在后台运行,必须确保该程序的输出被重定向到一个文件或者其它输出流去,否则
PHP 会在程序执行结束前挂起。 
 | 警告 |  在打开了安全模式时,初始命令字符串之后的所有词都被看成一个单一的参数。因此,echo
y | echo x 就成了 echo "y | echo x"。  |
