I can't find the error, the scripts runs fine from console, I thought it was PHP thing but couldn't fine anything.

Maybe permissions things? Exec things? I really don't know much, hope someone can help me. Thanks!

BASH Script (SIMPLY SENDS A JOB TO A PRINTER, but I put it enterely just in case):

#!/bin/bash
PBOX_DIR_TMP="/tmp"
DESDE=$1
HASTA=$2
FORMULARIO=$3
COLA=$4
FECHA=$(date +%F)
SPOOL="/spool.$$.txt"
ARCHIVOSALIDA="${PBOX_DIR_TMP}"/salida.$$.txt
RETURNCODE=0
echo "$DESDE"
echo "$HASTA"
echo "@PBSSFORM ${FORMULARIO}" > "${SPOOL}"
for ((i = ${DESDE};i <= ${HASTA};i++))
do
  if [ $i > ${DESDE} ]
  then
    echo -e "\f${FECHA}" >> "${SPOOL}"
    echo "${i}" >> "${SPOOL}"
  else
    echo "${FECHA}" >> "${SPOOL}"
    echo "${i}" >> "${SPOOL}"
  fi
done
cat "${SPOOL}" | pboxsvc ${PBOX_DIR_BIN}/pboxlib.bin AplicarHostForm > "${ARCHIVOSALIDA}"
lp -d "${COLA}" "${ARCHIVOSALIDA}"
RETURNCODE=$?
rm "${ARCHIVOSALIDA}"
rm "${SPOOL}"
if [ ${RETURNCODE} -eq 0 ]
  then
    exit 1
  else
    exit 0
fi

PHP call:

$cmd = "/printb/imprimirFormPlano.bin 1 2 FILE.PS Cola1";

Apache Log:

/printb/imprimirFormPlano.bin 1: Syntax error: ")" unexpected
sh: 2: not found.

The scripts works if I call it from shell like this: ./printb/imprimirFormPlano.bin 1 2 FILE.PS Cola1

what does this have to do with PHP? –  thatidiotguy Dec 13 '12 at 16:26
 
@thatidiotguy I need to call it from PHP. It will be web based –  Jorge Dec 13 '12 at 16:27

It looks like your apache's default shell is sh rather than bash. Try changing your command to 

$cmd = '/bin/bash /printb/imprimirFormPlano.bin 1 2 FILE.PS Cola1';

Thanks, it gives different output in apache's error log: /printb/imprimirFormPlano.bin: Cannot execute binary file. sh: 2: not found (I converted it to bin from .sh) –  Jorge Dec 13 '12 at 16:30
 
@Jorge Converted how? –  NullUserException♦ Dec 13 '12 at 16:31
 
@NullUserException Sorry it's encripted the one that converts to bin. –  Jorge Dec 13 '12 at 16:33
 
@Jorge Why do you need to make this conversion? Why can't you just call the .sh file itself? –  NullUserException♦ Dec 13 '12 at 16:39
 
@NullUserException I don't know it's my works politic. I tried using the sh with PHP but gives me access errors to locations (maybe user problem). The strange thing is that the error is like this: /spool.4234.txt Access denied is like if its trying to save on / instead of /temp/. –  Jorge Dec 13 '12 at 16:46
