exec() with executable shell scripts

[John E Van Deusen III]

To top off this discussion, please note that an explanation of the
special characteristics of execlp and execvp in duplicating the actions
of the shell are to be found somewhat obscurely in the exec(2) manual
entry.

If you do not want to use either of those variants, you have to do the
following, (I have used execl for clarity):

	execl("/bin/sh", "sh", "-c", "/bin/true", 0);
