Hola mi Hermanos,

I started what I thought would be a short, simple script. As these things do, it's spiraling out of control.

I'm using NET:SSH to connect to a whole lot of servers and gather various bits of info from them. I'd like to modify some of my functions to simulate "ssh -q", so I don't have to look at the MOTD over and over and over and over again.

Below is a much trimmed-down version of what I've got.

Thanks!,
~Stoomy 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Net::SSH qw(sshopen2);

$host="myhost.somedomain.org";

check_release($host,"/etc/redhat-release");

sub check_release {
    my ($myhostname,$myfile)=@_;
    my $user = "root";
    my $cmd = "cat $myfile";
    sshopen2("$user\@$myhostname", *READER, *WRITER, "$cmd") || die "s
+sh: $!";

    while (<READER>) {
        my $out = $_;
        if ($out =~ /.*5.*/) {
            print "RHEL 5\n";
        } elsif ($out =~ /.*4.*/) {
            print "RHEL 4\n";
        }
    }
    close(READER);
    close(WRITER);
}
