Gentlemen,

Moving forward from my previous FreeRadius enlightenment, FR Config Sanity Checking, I need to restart the FreeRadius daemon on the remote system.

I am authorized through SSH keys to the remote server to scp the generated configuration files to said server, however, I am having trouble reloading in order for the changes to take effect.

Below is the code, that I have in the propagate function.
        ####### Begin Dumb Propagate Function #######
        foreach $addr (keys %FR_servers) {
                if( system("sudo /usr/bin/scp -Bpq $config_file $addr:
+/usr/local/etc/raddb/") == 0 ){
                        $FR_servers{$addr} = 1;                  # mar
+k for user feedback
                } else { $FR_servers{$addr} = 0;}
                if( system("sudo /usr/bin/scp -Bpq $users_file $addr:/
+usr/local/etc/raddb/") == 0){
                        $FR_servers{$addr} = 1;
                } else { $FR_servers{$addr} = 0;}
                system("sudo ssh $addr $reloadcmd"); # reload freeradi
+us remotely
        }
        ####### Finish Dumb Propagate Function #######

This is the string that I send as $reloadcmd.
# command for reloading FreeRadius configuration

# touching the file works on both local and remote filesystems
my $reloadcmd = "/usr/local/sbin/rc.radiusd reload > /tmp/reload_ouput
+";

#"/bin/touch /tmp/test_reload_config";

[download]
The file /tmp/reload_output on the local file system has output, however, the remote system doesn't have the redirected output.

Changing the command to a 'sudoed' command, results in the script spinning for a while, but the same result.

You will also see that when I 'touch' a file on the remote filesystem that that file appears.

Many thanks in advance, I want to get this done before I go on vacation ;)
