I am writing one simple server daemon and running with /etc/init.d/server its running properly but when i want to run one simple QT GUI with system() function , its not able to run it and returning 256 as return code .
if same daemon i m running from terminal then its working properly and also system() function is getting success with return value 0 and GUI is getting popped up.
What is the problem i m not getting .... plzzzz can any one help me..........
i m using ubuntu-9.10 below is the code ....
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>

return ret;
}
//creating the listening queue

//reading the client_flag

if(ret < 0){
perror("Error in read");
return ret;
}
// if flag is true i want to run the GUI "console"
//console is Qt4 application
if(client_flag) {
syslog(LOG_NOTICE," *************** \n");
/* Here its returning 256 is if it is running from boot time and if after boot i will restrat it from terminal like "/etc/init.d/server restart" then it will return 0 success and GUI will popped up properly.*/

}
close(clifd);
}
closelog();
close(sockfd);
return 0;
