Hi all,
I wrote a script in perl for hp-ux. The script was designed to check for a process
and compare the cpu to a threshold and then alarm if the threshold is exceeded.
Here is the problem. I need to set a hp-ux environment variable everytime the script
is run. The script will run under cron so I cannot source the variable.
In hp-ux, I can use the following command:
export UNIX95=XPG4
In perl I have no idea how to do this same thing. I did try the following command:
system ("export UNIX95=XPG4");
This did not work. I think the system command opens a child process for the command
and then closes it effectively destroying the variable.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
