system function is restricted in safe mode.

You can only execute executables within the safe_mode_exec_dir. For practical reasons it's currently not allowed to have .. components in the path to the executable. escapeshellcmd() is executed on the argument of this function.

system() returns only the last line of the shell output. Sounds likt this is "127".

If you need the whole output instead, try:

$output = array();
exec('/x/sh/xpay4.sh', $output);
echo implode("<br>", $output);
