How to bring exit status of the previous run command

[turn2me5]

Hi,

I am working on a Perl program through which I am running required commands from a Windows machine onto Linux machines.
QTP scripts will be calling the perl script on Windows machine to execute the commands on remote Linux machine. I have used CPAN's Net::Telnet module to connect to the remote Linux machine from the Windows machine.

Now the issue I am facing is that I am not able to bring back the exit status of previously run command back to the Windows machine.

Please suggest as it is urgent..

echo $?
on linux shows you the exit status of the command after you run it.

I need to bring this status to windows machine which I am not getting how to do it....!

did you use errmode "return" and did you evaluate the error message given by errmsg()?

 

[travs69]

Run you command
$telnet->cmd("do something in linux");
then do
@exit = $telnet->cmd('echo $?');

Then @exit will have your exit code.

The errmode and the errmsg() I think is only in relation to the net::telnet session itself and will not give you any data about the command ran on the remote machine.
