escape your @. I don't remember the details, but I know it got chewed up by something in a past application.
Tim Conway Unix System Administration Contractor - IBM Global Services desk:3032734776 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi everybody - I'm trying to write a Perl wrapper for some rsync tasks that need doing. Problem is, there's some sort of odd interaction going on between Perl and the daemon mode communication for the rsync client, and I'm at my wit's end in trying to figure it out. Here's the Perl script: ##################################################### ##################################################### #!/usr/bin/perl $rsync_cmd = "/usr/local/bin/rsync -a --progress --password-file=/usr/local/etc/rsyncd.passwd [EMAIL PROTECTED]::samba/rsynctestfiles /usr/share/smbshare/rsynctestfiles"; $pid = open(PH, "$rsync_cmd 2>&1 |"); # with an openpipe while (<PH>) { # plus a read print $_; } print "finished\n"; ##################################################### -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
