Craig,
Look up the hash %ENV Good Luck, Christopher -----Original Message----- From: Craig Sharp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2001 3:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Perl-unix-users] Setting env vars in hp-ux 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, Craig A.
