Hi Monks!
I have written a small programme to execute "rsh" command with time out option. Here is my code.

use strict;

my $NETE_FAILURE = -1;
my $NETE_SUCCESS = 0;
my $timeout = 10;

eval {
        local $SIG{ALRM} = sub { die "alarm\n" };
        alarm $timeout;
        my $Error = &Rsh("<machinename>","perl <path>s1.pl");
        print "Error::$Error\n";
        if ($Error == $NETE_FAILURE)
        {
           die "Failure\n";
        }
        alarm 0;
};
if ($@) 
{
  if ($@ eq "alarm\n")
  {
      die "TimeOut\n";
  }
}
else
{
   print "Success\n";
}

sub Rsh
{

   my($MachineName,$Command,$ErrorText,$Length);

   if (scalar(@_) != 2)
   {
      print ("Error:Wrong number of arguments supplied\n");
      return ($NETE_FAILURE);
   }
   ($MachineName,$Command)=@_;

   # Get the machine OS
   my $OS=$^O;

   if ($OS=~ m/hpux/i)
   {
     $Command = "remsh" . " $MachineName" . " $Command";
   }
   elsif ($OS =~ /MSWin32/i)
   {
       $Command = "rsh" . " $MachineName" . " -n $Command";
   }
   else
   {
       $Command = "rsh" . " $MachineName" . " $Command";
   }

   #Creating temporary file
   my $ErrorFile = "RH".$$;

   my $Error = 0xffff & system("($Command  2>$ErrorFile)");

   # Open the error file and see if it has some contents
   if( open (fhError, "< $ErrorFile"))
   {
       while (<fhError>)
       {
           $ErrorText .= $_;
       }
       $Length = scalar(split(//,$ErrorText));
       if($Length != 0 )
       {
         print ("Error:$ErrorText");
         close (fhError);
         unlink ($ErrorFile);
         return ($NETE_FAILURE);
       }
       else
       {
          close (fhError);
       }
   }
   unlink ($ErrorFile);

   if ($Error != 0 )
   {
      print ("Error:Executed command $Command with error return status
+\n");
    return ($NETE_FAILURE);
    }

 return ($NETE_SUCCESS);
}

This is running fine in Solaris box but when I am trying to execute in Windows 2000 box then Rsh function within eval block is not executing. Any pointer how can I execute Rsh function in Win2k box?
Thanks in advance.
