Re^2: Passing the contents of a file in a "system" call to a .ksh script

I may have missed something, it doesn't work. And yes, I am trying to send the contents of the log file to the script.

open my $FH, "<$LOGFILE" or die "Failed to open $LOGFILE";
    while ($LINE = <$FH>) {
    push @contents, $LINE;
                }
    close $FH;
print LOG "$FORMATTEDTIME   @contents \n";
    my @args = ("/home/admin/bin/email.ksh", "@contents", "Web Server 
+Issue", "PROD", "/home/admin/logs/check_jvm/EmailAlert.log");
    system(@args) == 0
     or die "system @args failed: $?"

The following is a cut/paste of your code with the addition of `use strict;use warnings;`, the addition of variable declaration, removing your LOG line and substituting "echo" for "/home/admin/bin/email.ksh". `use strict; use warnings; my $LOGFILE = 'junk.txt'; open my $FH, "<$LOGFILE" or die "Failed to open $LOGFILE"; my @contents = (); while (my $LINE = <$FH>) { push @contents, $LINE; } close $FH; my @args = ("echo", "@contents", "Web Server Issue", "PROD", "/home/ad +min/logs/check_jvm/EmailAlert.log"); system(@args) == 0 or die "system @args failed: $?"` [download] It echos `The contents of the file. Web Server Issue PROD /home/admin/logs/check_jvm/EmailAlert.log` as expected. Are you sure you are invoking your shell script properly? Can you invoke it successfully from the command line? If it comes down to debugging a shell script or perl, I'd be inclined to suggest putting time in on hbm's suggestion.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Kennethk, I have what you listed, but I pre-declared some of the variables at the start of the code. Something I am just used to. I may look into emailing within the script with a second email config file, just trying to stay away from doing so for obvious reasons. Thanks!	[reply]

A few months ago, I wrote a secret santa script that involved automated e-mailing to a list contained in an external file. You may find it useful: Re: Temporarily Obscuring a Lottery Draw. Happy hunting.	[reply]
