Re^5: server login

Yes - I'd recommend DISCONNECTING the drive after using it, as indicated in my first post.

Your "System Error 55" is probably a result of NOT disconnecting, and trying to re-connect, (attempting to re-connect to an existing network drive)

I'd suggest checking if the path exists (use the perl "-e" operator). Run the "NET USE" command only if the path does not already exist.

How would I go about with the diconnecting the drive? Would I use the same command as you listed in the first post?	[reply]

`net use z: /d` Where z: is the drive you wish to disconnect. `net use /help` Provides basic help, and instructions for getting more help on specific functions.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You can disregard my last note. I was able to implement the disconnent. However I still get the system error 55? Any idea where else this could be being thrown from, or how I could fix it? The new code is located below. Thank you for all of your help this far. It is very much appreciated. foreach $server ( @servers ) { if( $found == 0 ) { if( -e "\\\\$server\\C\$\\" ) { print "\n\nServer is already linked\n\n"; find( \&finddata, "\\\\$server\\c\$\\VoiceGenie\\mp\\logs\ +\" )or warn "Could not enter the specified path \\\\$server\\ +c\$\\VoiceGenie\\mp\\logs\\.\n"; #Function that allows the use of Fil +e::Find. } else { print "\n\nServer not linked connecting now\n\n"; qx\|net use \\\\$server\\C\$\\VoiceGenie\\mp\\log $ServerP +assword /user:$username\|; find( \&finddata, "\\\\$server\\c\$\\VoiceGenie\\mp\\logs\ +\" ) or warn "Could not enter the specified path \\\\$server\\ +c\$\\VoiceGenie\\mp\\logs\\.\n"; #Function that allows the use of Fil +e::Find. qx\|net use \\\\$server\\C\$\\VoiceGenie\\mp\\log /D\|; } } } [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Google the error message. I see reports of this message appearing in Ctrix servers. One possible corrective action seems to be to map to the root of the drive (C$), then access sub-directories. Another google hit indicates this may be cause by cache config, if the remote server is Linux-based Samba. “PHP is a minor evil perpetrated and created by incompetent amateurs, whereas Perl is a great and insidious evil perpetrated by skilled but perverted professionals.” ― Jon Ribbens	[reply]
