[xubuntu-users] How to run script/program from C program using Geany

[Phil Whitaker]

I think this might be because you are running Geany, and therefore the shell
process, as yourself rather than root (as you should be!), so you don't have
permission to access /bin/.  As for a solution, I'm afraid I can't help
there, sorry.
