in reply to Html not printing my shell command output

@job_run = `autorep -J my_job_name -w`;

Maybe your web server cannot access the "autorep" command the way you do when running it from a shell.

You do access your page on a web server, don't you? Because your browser on its own does not know what to do with it.

There will be an error log for the web server that should tell you what happened there and then.

    As I mentioned, I am getting the output of my Autorep command and this script is running fine in command line when I run like ./my_code.cgi. So I dont think that is the problem here. Not sure what else Iam missing here.

      "So I dont think that is the problem here."

      I don't think you understand what you have been told. While you can run this from the command line when logged in, this does not mean that your webserver can. Did you check your web server logs?

      As I mentioned, there is a difference in accessing a programme from the command line, or from a browser, or from a web server.

      It may be just as simple as the path to the executable not being in the environment of the web server.

      I have not seen you ruling it out yet.

        I got it Soren. I think you are right. I added my Autosys profile Source in the wrapper CGI which is called from my html and it worked. As you said, command line, it was invoking Autosys but the html apache server was not able to till i explicitly sourced it. Thanks so much for the help. It is working now.
