I am trying to issue this command via perl, and capture the std error:
my $file = "/mnt/adtest/qa1/file1";
my $writeline = "# $test->{currentuser} wrote timestamp " . time()
+;
my $command = "echo $writeline >> $file";
my $output = `$command 2>&1`;
This is a part of a test where I am looking for an error (specifically "permission denied"). However $output is always empty.
When I run from the linux command line I do see the output. I suspect that the stderr output is lost in redirection when run via perl. Anyone know how to get around this?
[root@qanode1-2 latest]# echo "qauser1 wrote timestamp 1414118740-1" >
+> /mnt/adtest/qa1/file1
-bash: /mnt/adtest/qa1/file1: Permission denied

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
