Gurus,
Currently I'm using
system( "crontab -u root $root_file" );
where $root_file contains the updates for the root crontab file. What I'm asking today is whether there's another way of running this command in such a way that I can get a pass/fail result into my script. I know eval{} is somewhat frowned upon, so I wonder what might work for me here... maybe something as simple as
$result = `crontab -u root "$root_file"`;
might do it? Or doesn't crontab work inside backticks. (If you get bitten by backticks, does that make the itch go away?)
Thanks,
Deane Rothenmaier
