Hi,

I have just started a new job where they want me to re-develop their entire system. This will involve creating a new perl-shell (bash-like), a file-system-viewer (read,print,save-to,upload,download) and a server to manage the whole thing.

I have decided to use unix/perl with both an internet and unix sockets for the server to communicate with the utilities (above) but i dont want to take a lot of time re-inventing a module(s) that may already exist and fot the requirement. Heres a summary of what the server will do:

check unix perms

unix authentication

chroot'ing for the fs-viewer

print to the printer

send data via kermit (Serial-Console)

If any one has attempted this kind of thing or know of good reliable mods to use please let me know.

Thanks in advance,

Elfyn

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
