I tried Proc::Background so my script wouldn't wait on the invoked task as with the Perl system command. Actually, I've found that ssh isn't what I need since the invoked task displays on the local, and not remote, machine. I need to initiate a task on a remote machine and have that task run and display on the remote machine. The Perl script should initiate then ignore the remote process. I don't yet know how to achieve that end. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
