Re: getting multiple return values from system()

The manpage for ssh claims:

ssh exits with the exit status of the remote command or with 255 if an error occurred.

Have you tried to look at the return value of system?

my $status = system("/usr/bin/ssh $server \"/usr/sbin/useradd $login\"
+");

or, using qq...

my $status = system qq(/usr/bin/ssh $server "/usr/sbin/useradd $login"
+);

That's what I used, but my interpretation of the values was wrong. I did not expect ssh to be so clever to "pipe" the result I wanted. Thank you too!	[reply]
