Yep - I've already read the PHP website (it was the first place I 
looked after we found out shell_exec was misbehaving). 
 
Some background would probably help - the script call worked before the 
server was locked down and put in the DMZ for public access. 
 
Following that, the script call didn't work any more. I have stuck a 
test script on the server just calling  shell_exec("dir");  and it's 
hanging... on my test box if I remove permissions on cmd.exe, it just 
returns an empty string (i.e. what you would expect). 
 
I'm still waiting for the apache logs - hopefully they will provide 
some more meaningful information...
