my ($user , $hostname , $command_to_run ) = ThatFunkThatSetsTheses(); my $cmd = "rsh -n -l $user $hostname $command_to_run"; if( system($cmd) != 0) { do_our_Fail_To_System_CMD($cmd); } the two functions ThatFunkThatSetsTheses() do_our_Fail_To_System_CMD() are left as an exercise.... Why do the heavy lifting when you can do the simple? this of course presumes that you can do that rsh -n -l That_User That_host hostname because you have the .rhost file set up.... If you really wanted to get funky you could of course run a mini-webServer on the hosts, with interesting ..htaccess alternatives - and write it as a CGI request In which case you can avoid some of the issues of needing to have the .rhost or host.equiv .... You might want to think in terms of using ssh in lieu of rsh/remsh.... ciao drieux --- the various funkadelics are in: http://www.wetware.com/drieux/src/unix/perl/UglyCode.txt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
