Hi,

I am new to perl and trying to write script which will verify first if veritas volume manager is running. if it is running then stop it and print the output veritas volume manager has stopped.

i wrote below code but not able to print it like " volume <volume name> has stopped.

#verify volume is in running state
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
 @list = ("vxinfo -g <diskgroup name> <volumename>","vxinfo -g <diskgr
+oup name> <volumename>" ");
 # foreach loop execution
foreach $a (@list){
$result = `$a`;
print "output of command $a is $result\n";
}

print "stopping the volume\n";

$vol1 = `vxvol -g  <diskgroup name>  stop <volumename>`;
