Hi monks!
I wrote a backup script in my customer system. Because they are not familiar with Unix. I install activeperl in their workstation and write a simple snipet:
# omit parameters use strict; use warnings; use Net::Telnet; sub init{ read_par(); #telnet_login("sh /backup/auto_backup.sh > /backup/backup.log &"); telnet_login("echo 1 >>1.txt"); #just a test } init(); sub telnet_login{ my $command = shift; my $tl = Net::Telnet->new() or die "???\n"; $tl->open($remote_server); $tl->login($username,$password); my @output = $tl->cmd($command);
I open a cmd window and run it, It seems work very well. So I create a new scheduled task like below:
run: C:\perl\bin\perl D:\snippet.pl start in: C:\perl\bin and enabled check box is also ticked. #please see scheduled task for real appreance!
But it's very strange, It doesn't work totally! I can see a cmd window flash on the screen on specified time. but on unix side, 1.txt file doesn't change!
what problem on my steps? and how can I resolve this issue? because the system is not next to me, except for standard modules, we don't use crontab or other any schedule::* modules. worse of all, I am the single one that know perl in my company!
Please Help me! any answer are really appreciated!!!

I am trying to improve my English skills, if you see a mistake please feel free to reply or /msg me a correction
