I have been looking through the docs and found no help on either finding which user 
the EXEC'ed commands run as, or how to specify which user they should run as.  I tried 
exec, system, and passthru running a batch file that would write %USERNAME% to a file. 
 And all three functions wrote nothing.  They would however write "hello world".  Has 
anybody else run into this.  

I tried exec("test.bat");
test.bat:
echo %USERNAME% > test.txt

when run from a command line it resulting in "Charles"
when run from a webpage it resulted in "ECHO is on."
if I added a line "echo off" above the echo username it resulted in "ECHO is off." 
again only from the webpage.

In essense I need to update a DNS server through a web page.  It works if the script 
is local but not if it has to update a different server.
