Account Services

This pattern appears a dozen or two times in acctsrvcs

        $syscommand = "$RMFILTER display_filter $websec_token $account $ssn $pennname";
        $returncode = &Syscommand(1);
        unless ($returncode == 0) {
           &reportError ("Can't display current filtered virus folder.", 0, 0, 0, 101);
           exit;
        }

This function runs a Unix command
It has several oddities
- The command to run is passed in the global variable $syscommand
- Every call acctsrvcs makes to Syscommand has that 1 there
  - What's that about?
- The return value is backwards
It's inherited from a library file
- ... which loads another library file
  - ... which was written for the Account Management application
