I'm stuck on sending the result back to the client.
I think if I read the perlipc's doc as suggested by beable, it'll help
but in any case here's the code: 

server.script:


use Socket;
($Program = $0) =~ s@^.*/@@;

$file = "/tmp/socket.$Program";
$addr = sockaddr_un($file);
 
socket(SERVER, PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) || die "Could not create socke
+t: $!";
unlink("$file");
 
bind(SERVER, $addr) || die "Could not bind: $!";
 
listen(SERVER,SOMAXCONN) || die "Could not listen: $!";
 
while (accept(CLIENT,SERVER)) {
    $cmd = <CLIENT>;
    if ($cmd) {
        $time = &timeStamp;
        open(CMD, "ssh2 rob\@machine_b $cmd |");
            @results = <CMD>;
        close(CMD);
      
       print @results;
    }
}
 

client.script:


use Socket;
($Program = $0) =~ s@^.*/@@;
$file = "/tmp/server.script";
 
&Message("/home/me/run_script -r -s a1 -avg");
 
sub Message {
    my ($cmd) = @_;
    my $level = 1;
    if (socket(SOCKET, PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) {
        connect(SOCKET, sockaddr_un($file)) || die "Could not connect:
+ $!";
        print SOCKET $cmd;
        close SOCKET;
    } else {
        print "I couldn't connect";
    }
}

OK, the client.script sends the query to server.script,
and server.script runs the cmd & prints it. how do i get it
to return the results to the client.script so the client.script
can print the result? (I think i should go and read the perlipc's doc)
thanx...
