I'm still working on this perl program that will dump a bunch of data
produced by a script. Last week Jeff N. gave me this (essentially):
remote_exp
------------
open(SCRIPTINPUT, "./remote_exp.ksh $sourceHost .$arg{programName}
$DBAUserID
$DBAPassword $arg{tables} $rows $SID|" ) or die "could not start
remote_exp";
print while <SCRIPTINPUT>;
close SCRIPTINPUT;
It works fine if I call it from the command line. But if I call this script
from another script like:
Caller
------
my $stuff = qx[remote_exp fdba=$arg{fromDBAConnectString} tables=$tables
rows=n]
It hangs. I don't understand why. I'd like to redirect ">" the output to a
file like:
my $stuff = qx[remote_exp fdba=$arg{fromDBAConnectString} tables=$tables
rows=n > output]
But I can't get past the hang.
