Re: perl ssh keystroke

in reply to perl ssh keystroke

First (probably stupid on my part) question, is your script currently able to interact with the window already?

If so, then I would start by looking at the Win32::GuiTest::SendKeys or Win32::GuiTest::SendRawKey methods (the former looks the simpler). (I would also look through the examples that are documented in the module as well.)
If not, then you have additional issues. (At that point, I would also be looking for other methods to control the script. :)

Hope that helps.

I don't think that the GuiTest will help me here. Basically I have a function that calls a getch that uninitiates the current process. That's what I am trying to achieve in perl ( simulate the keystroke ). When running the script in Windows it all goes well. I assume that when running it using ssh from ,let's say, ubuntu it fails to simulate the keystroke because ssh is not interactive.	[reply]

my $pid = open (PROCESS, " \| $process_that_needs_ending > $output_filename) or die "message"; system(some_process_done_in_parralel); -> this spawned process needs to happen in the lifetime of PROCESS and afterwards it needs killing by keystroke	[reply]
