First, I read perldoc -f exec() and did as follows: exec "rsh $plant /u1/bin/forkit 'work.pl'" or print STDERR "Couldn't fork it.\n $!\n";
BUT, even though the file it should be exec - ing 'work.pl' does NOT exist on the remote system, the error doesn't get kicked off. The only error I've gotten it to register is if $plant is invalid. Any ideas? _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
