Hi All,

I have SSH question.
I have Perl script (genMakeFiles.pl) on WIN remote machine which executing ¡¥MSDEV¡¦ command to export a makefile from a Visual C++ V6.0 project (.DSP) file.
I wrote another Perl script - BuildMakeFiles.pl, that running on Unix machine and connecting to the remote Win machine with SSH command and executing the above Perl script (genMakeFiles.pl).
To make the long story short: BuildMakeFiles.pl (UNIX) „³ SSH „³ genMakeFiles.pl (WIN) „³ MSDEV.
In case that MSDEV command will fail it present message box to the windows with question and BuildMakeFiles.pl is stuck.
How can I catch this scenario? I think to write a timer that after 3 min. Will return an error something like the code below:

my $buildCMD = "$sshCMD \"perl $VM_HOME/genMakeFiles.pl " .
                    "-u $ST_USER " .
                    "-p $ST_PASSWORD " .
                    "-v $ST_VIEW " .
                    "-l $ST_LABEL\"";
    
print "-I- $buildCMD";
my $counter = 1;   
open (CMD, "$buildCMD | ") or die "\n-E- system '$buildCMD' failed: ($
+?) ($!)";
while (<CMD>)
{
print "$_\n";
    sleep 1;
    $counter++;
    if ($counter < 180)
    {
        print "\n\n-E- Failed to generate MAKE file ¡V Exiting. \n";
        exit 1;
    }
}
