traceroute enabled?

In the linux hosting, can traceroute be used (through php)? I tried it once and I didn’t receive any output. Has anyone tried using it?

I would also like to know that. I am using the following code in my php script but it doesn’t show anything.

system ("traceroute $host");

I have even given EXECUTE rights to my script but no luck. Seems like traceroute is disabled!? I am on Web 6 server.

Access to most of the system binaries may not work.
