Possible bug or unimplemented functionality in sys.fexecute()

[CCorfield]

The parameter "readwhat" is not used, but is referenced from the parallel module (see the code for forking).

Proposed fix:

function sys.fexecute(cmd, readwhat)
*+ readwhat = readwhat or 'all'
local tmpfile = os.tmpname()
local cmd = cmd .. ' 1>'.. tmpfile..' 2>' .. tmpfile
os.execute(cmd)
local file = G.assert(io.open(tmpfile))
*- local s = file:read('all')
+ local s= file:read(readwhat)
file:close()
s = s:gsub('^%s',''):gsub('%s_$','')
os.execute('rm ' .. tmpfile)
return s
end
