Perl Script to transfer control from unix to windows and backwithstatuso f win.process

1 New Member
Hi,

I need to a solution through perlscript.

I have a unix process (ksh) running in a unix box. In the middle (of this process) there is a need to call a windows program and execute some steps and if true return value of these is true the rest of unix shell script needs to run.

Eventually a perl script will wrap this entire process.

Pls. let me know any suggestions.

Well, unfortunately, this is not a coding service. Instead, it is a place of learning. If you want a script then you are going to have to write it. We, on the other hand, will assist you with any road blocks or speed bumps along the way.

So, why not write some code and if you get stuck, post your code here, enclosed in the proper and necessary Code Tags. Then, we will assist you.

Regards,

Jeff

Perl can run external programs and get the output of the programs. The qx// operator is for doing that type of thing. But your requirements are rather vague and has already been said, we help you, we don't do it for you. So if you have some preliminary code written lets see it.

Hello, I have two different scripts that do pretty much the same thing. The main perl script is on Windows. It runs and in the middle of it, it then calls out another perl script that then should run on a Unix box I have. Both scripts run ok, except for the part when Windows try's to call out the Unix script. I have it set up where the Unix is mapped through a drive letter and can drop stuff into the Unix box. It is going through another...

So, I download the latest "stable" tar for perl (5.8.7) and try to compile it on the Solaris 8 (SPARC) box that I administrate. I try all sorts of different switches, but I can't get it to compile. I need it to be compiled with threads. Anyone have any wisdom on how best to do this? Here's a transcript of my latest attempt. It's long; you might want to skip to the bottom, where I try "make" and the fatal errors start happening.

Hi, I am attempting to process a proprietary formatted file into flat csv for the purpose of bcp'ing into a SQL Server 2005 install. I tried writing a processor in Perl that "works" except that the BCP tool in windows just does not like the file, it gives me the "Unexpected EOF...." error that is usually associated with misaligned fields. I am pretty sure the cause of this is the end of line character differences between platforms. I...

Given that UNIX, including networking, is almost entirely coded in C, how come so many things are almost impossible in ordinary C? Examples: Network and internet access, access to UNIX interprocess controls and communication, locale determination, EBCDIC/ASCII discrimination, etc. Almost all of these are easy in Perl. Why isn't there a mechanism like perl modules to allow easy extentions for facilities like these? Isn't anyone working...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
