/*
 * Method: cmd_execute_command
 *
 * Description: Executes the given command and returns the output written to
 * stdout and stderr in two separate file descriptors to be read by the caller.
 * It is recommended that the caller use the cmd_retrieve_string method or
 * another polling method to read from the file descriptors especially in the
 * case that the command output is expected to be lengthy.
 *
 * Parameters:
 *	- char *cmd - The command to execute.
 *	- int *output_filedes - The file descriptor to which the stdout output
 *	is written.
 *	- int *err_filedes -  The file descriptor to which the stderr output
 *	is written.
 *
 * Returns:
 *	- int - This value will always be zero.  This was intended to be the
 *	the exit status of the executed command, but in the case of the
 *	execution of a command with a large amount of output (ex: ls of a large
 *	directory) we can't wait for the exec'd command to exit.  This is
 *	because of the way that file descriptors work.  When the child process,
 *	or the process executing the command, writes of 'x' amount of data to
 *	a file desciptor (fd), the fd reaches a threshold and will lock and wait
 *	for a reader to read before writing anymore data.  In this case, we
 *	don't have a reader since the caller reads from the file descriptors,
 *	not the parent process.
 *	The result is that the parent process cannot be allowed to wait for the
 *	child process to exit.  Hence, cannot get the exit status of the
 *	executed command.
