Re: win32 running unix interactive program

I am confused as to why you would do this? If this Unix machine is the Netbackup master server and you have access to it via telnet - why don't you just log on and use robest interactively instead of trying to run a script from your win box? Not sure if you are wanting to do the same thing with robtest ever time but if you are you could just run the script on the unix box in cron and have it notify you if there is a failure. Are you using this to see if a tape is stuck in a drive or to move a tape?

There is a script that comes with Netbackup called "Available_Media" it is in /opt/openv/netbackup/bin/goodies it will give you the info you need. You can just run via Net::Telnet and check the output on whatever intrevals you need to - Cheers, Jeffery	[reply]

Actually the machine is located remotely and I would like to know by polling robtest when all the slots are available for reloading or removing tapes (humans on the other side). I would set an alarm on PC and then load the next 10 into the slots instead of constantly checking. There is an ancient version of Perl on the Netbackup machine and d/l modules etc. is an issue on that machine. Thanks for the reply! BigSwifty	[reply]
