Re^4: Windows System Command

Hi, I also have some problem using Perl system call for Windows commands. I used your "system q[]" way to resolve it, but, it didn't work. please see below statement I'm using in my script-

my $system_error = system q[ "C:\Program Files\Sample\Sample Endpoint 
+Protection Manager\jre\bin\javaw.exe" -Xms256m -Xmx512m -Dcatalina.ho
+me="C:\Program Files\Sample\Sample Endpoint Protection Manager\tomcat
+" -Djava.library.path="C:\Program Files\Sample\Sample Endpoint Protec
+tion Manager\tomcat\bin;C:\Program Files\Sample\Sample Endpoint Prote
+ction Manager\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib;C:\Program Files\Sample
+\Sample Endpoint Protection Manager\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\clientpkg\ext
+;C:\Program Files\Sample\Sample Endpoint Protection Manager\ASA\win32
+" -jar "C:\Program Files\Sample\Sample Endpoint Protection Manager\bi
+n\inst.jar" sca "C:\Compatibility_Automation_Temp\AutoConfig.xml" ];
print "system error for auto config command-if: $system_error\n";
[download]

Output of the above code is: system error for auto config command-if: 256 whereas, when I run this code on cmd directly, it returns me success. please let me know if I'm doing something wrong.

Try putting the command into a .bat file; and then invoke that bat file from Perl using system.

What output do you get from adding this line just before the call to system? `print Win32::LoginName(); system ...;` [download] With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

So you run a batch file and it doesn't work? If so this is a problem with the command or how you're calling it (you don't see an error message displayed?) and not perl.	[reply]

You need to divide by 256: Process exit status why divide 256 for the exit code	[reply]

Hi, I got this. But, still, return value of this command is 1 (256/256). That is the failure code on cmd. It means, my command is failing when I'm running it using system command. How to resolve it.	[reply]
