Re^7: Perl script in cron

As I recall the switch that I used was not in the documentation. :( I cannot help you because the code I wrote was at a previous job and I no longer have access to it. :(

If you don't get your answer here do try the mailing list. Someone will respond to your request. Good luck.

OK ... I kicked on debugging and it seems to be a problem with the key passphrase in batchmode: `nw05: Trying empty user-authentication request. nw05: Authentication methods that can continue: publickey,keyboard-int +eractive. nw05: Next method to try is publickey. nw05: Trying pubkey authentication with key file '/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pu +b' nw05: Will not query passphrase for '/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub' in batch m +ode. nw05: Loading private key failed. Permission denied at /root/bin/getsysinfo.pl line 43` [download] Gonna take a closer look on this. /Roger	[reply] [d/l]

If I didn't know better, I'd say ssh is detecting the lack of a terminal and assuming it's in batch mode. I thought Net::SSH was native perl, but now I wonder if it has forked a /bin/ssh? ssh will definitely drop into "batch mode" from chron unless it's told not to do so, and afaik it won't accept passwords when it considers itself to be non-interactive. Perhaps you should set up a keypair? Update: duh. The native perl ssh has a different name: Net::SSH::Perl -Paul	[reply]

Well, Im out of idea's here I guess. Do I have to revert to feeding it with password (automaticly) perhaps :-(	[reply]
