Hi All,

I'm executing 'nmake' command from Perl program: 

    $status = system ("nmake -f  TEST.mak CFG=\"TEST - Win32 Solaris_R
+elease\"");

I need to catch the return code of 'nmake' command, check the results and send message accordantly (Success/Failed). Moreover, I want to print the outputs of the command in log file and on the screen. I've wrote the following codes to support those requirements: 


        open(STDOUT, "|tee -a $buildLog") || die "Can't redirect stdou
+t: $buildLog";</span>

        open(STDERR, ">&STDOUT") || die "Can't dup stdout";

                $status = system ("nmake /df $object.mak CFG=\"$object
+ - ${BUILD_CFG}$build_config\"");

        close(STDERR);

        close(STDOUT);

        if ($status) {</span>

            print "-E- nmake end with errors!:\n$statuss\n";

            exit 1;

       } else {

            print nmake finished successfully\n";

        }

Please advice if it is correct to "send" STDOUT to STDOUT or if you have other idea to implement it.

Thanks.
