Hi guys, I have a perl script using system function, owner is root, like,
print "Previous $?, $!" ; system("mkdir --parents --mode=0755 /home/myhome/disp/archive") == 0 or die "Unable to create directory,$!, $?" system function sometimes return non-zero value, $? is -1 $! is No child process, but the directory is actually created and mode's changed, There are enouhg file handlers and inodes. It also happens to touch, echo, open pipe. $! error message No child process is already there before the system call as i print $! before call system function. Enviroment is: Linux version 2.2.17 (gcc version 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)) perl 5.005_03 After reboot machine, it's disappeared on some machines, but not on some machine. Can you point me where i look at to find what causes the problem, or is there other better way to trap system call error?
