exec "rsh $plant /u1/bin/forkit '/u1/bin/zwork.pl'" How do I use the above, which starts my process then lets my calling program continue, to check for an error? In this particular case, the error occurs because zwork.pl does not exists on the maching the rsh is calling and I need to note this error.
I tried doing this: exec "rsh $plant /u1/bin/forkit '/u1/bin/zwork.pl'" or excep("couldnt exec.") but it didn't work. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
