in thread Uninitalized error for Stdout and Stderr from Net::SSH::Perl

Updated code to check $stderr and $exit. $stdout and $stderr have undefined. Do I need to initialize $STDOUT to $stdout

Output from the updated code

#!/usr/bin/env perl -w use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; use Net::SSH::Perl; ###################################################################### +# # LOGIN DETAILS ###################################################################### +# my $server = "10.255.255.10"; my $username = "username"; my $password = "password"; # Log into server print "Creating ssh object... "; my $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new($server); # Error check this print "done\n"; print "Logging into server... "; $ssh->login($username, $password); # Error check this print "done\n"; # Check df my $command = 'df'; print "Running command ($command)... "; my ($stdout, $stderr, $exit) = $ssh->cmd($command); # Check output print "done\n"; print "$stdout\n"; print "$stderr\n"; print "$exit\n"; $ssh->cmd("exit");

    As the login seems to be successful, it appears that the command is not returning any output, and is exiting "normally".

    My own foray into this kind of script just calls ssh through a backtick or qx//, like so:

    my @result = qx/$ssh ${user}\@${host} '$cmd'/;

    which isn't as easy to separate the various results. I also have pre-shared key login, so there's no password prompt. And that doesn't help you.

    I'll see if I can attract more attention to this.
