Net::telnet

[malpa]

Hi

I want to run a remote command using net::telnet. This command generate a local file for example "ls C*". if this command does not generate a file or the file is empty (0), I must to run this command again 5 minutes later, thus until it obtains the firts file of day.

My program generate one file per day, but some days the file is empty.

My program run all days at 6:00 am.

What would be the solution to this?


Thanks malpa

Leaving the session open for that long is bad. I would start a new telnet session every 5 minutes to check for the file.

for (0..288){
#Telnet to the machine
#if file find, last
#else
sleep 300;
}
