or, as can be quite usefull if like me, you run a number of headless servers you can put something like: echo $mysucessmessage|smbcliemt -M $monitor in your Bash scripts. Perl obviously works this way too. Personally I like to use the open pipe method like: open(SMB,"|smbclient -M $monitor") || die "can't open pipe: $!\n"; -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
