Using the Unix 'tar' Command

I have a line of code that invokes the 'system()' function, and the command passed to the 'system()' function is the 'tar' command. This code works perfectly when I run it on my (Linux) production server; when I run it on the 'Uniform Server', I get an empty file as its output.

 

Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work and if there is a way to make it work?

 

Thank you very much.

 

(This addendum I am adding several hours later.)

 

My question is ridiculous. I realized shortly after posting my question (when I was no longer at home near my computer) that the 'system()' command can only execute Windows commands. Since 'tar' is not a Windows command, there is no way my code could work on the Uniform Server.

 

Sorry for bothering people with this query.
