-------------------8<------------------------------------------- system("rcp $workdir/installP.pl $remhost:installP.pl"); says permission denied
i am not much familier with rcp i have tried several combination such as applying " root@ " before $workdir etc sometimes it says permission denied or else it says unknown host machine on which i am writing script , i am a user not root at many places scripts assume root so i put " -l root" with rexec or remsh not know about rcp - system("rcp $workdir/installP.pl $remhost:installP.pl"); " $remhost root " entry is there in .rhosts see if anyone can tell me the possible causes. -------------------8<------------------------------------------- Please dont post in HTML, and dont cross post either. Does rcp $workdir/installP.pl $remhost:installP.pl work from the command prompt? If it doesnt then theres no way that perl will be able to. You can help yourself with some form of error checking:- system(rcp $workdir/installP.pl $remhost:installP.plr) or die "Cant copy:- $!\n"; _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
