Re^6: Running Multiple Commands using System

Okay. Thanks for your elaborate explanation. But

system("sdb -d root on 'sdb -d shell; ls'");

the syntax used here is what I found to run multiple commands of shell by one system call. But only in this specific case it does not work.

 system("sdb -d root on 'sdb -d shell; cd /opt; ls';bash ");
[download]

gives error of "root does not take more than one arguement" while the following system call runs fine.

system("sdb -d shell 'cd /opt; ls';bash ");
[download]

executing all the 3 shell commands sequentially in one child terminal. and running independently

system("sdb -d root on");
[download]

also works fine.

So, your problem is with the `sdb` program. It says that "sdb root" does not take more than one argument. But you are giving it two arguments, `on` and `'sdb -d shell; cd /opt; ls'`. I'm pretty confident that your command line as you show it to us does not work outside of Perl either. This is not a Perl problem but a problem with the `sdb` program. I suggest you consult the documentation of the `sdb` program and/or ask the vendor of the program on how to proceed.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
