Re: execute remote perl script via ssh

Have you looked at the values of $ssh_user, $hostname, and $user via e.g. Data::Dumper? Do you know whether ssh.exe is always in the PATH? Also, you should definitely be using a module to run external commands more safely, for example in this case I think IPC::Run3 might be appropriate (more info and sample code here). At the very least, use Win32::ShellQuote to build the command line.

Hi haukex I can see the value of `$ssh_user, $hostname, and $user` for the particular user `I will try with IPC::Run3 instead of using qx().` *All is well. I learn by answering your questions...*	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi Monks, I have identified the issue for that particular user, As I already said we use public key method to auto login without asking for the password, there is the problem, his user account is being shared by another user, so his private key is not secure and ssh fails with below error `debug3: Bad permissions. Try removing permissions for user: XXXXX on f +ile C:\\Users\\XXXXXX/.ssh/id_rsa. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Permissions for 'C:\\Users\\XXXXXX/.ssh/id_rsa' are too open. It is required that your private key files are NOT accessible by other +s. This private key will be ignored.` [download] After removing the permission for the other user, it works fine. *All is well. I learn by answering your questions...*	[reply] [d/l]
