I currently have written a socket script that creates a socket connection to a remote socket. Passes some values, and the remote script then takes those values and passes them to a system() call.
The local script then waits for the remote script to send a response back. Since the local script has no visibility into the command being ran, I would like to have a time out on the local script. Below is a blurb of the local script: $connect->send($bkcommand); # Command to run $connect->send($partition); # Which partition to dump $connect->send($bs); # Location of the BS $connect->send($bkserv); # Which server to backup to $connect->send($bkuser); # Which login user to use --> This is where it waits on the remote to finish print LOG "END - $fdate - $remote_host - $partition\n"; close($connect); # Close the connection I would like to have it wait say 1 hour before it moves on. This is within a while loop, so it has a list of machines to run through. Thanks!
