Execute command in perl.

Hi

I am trying to run a command for deployment from my ipl file but it's not running. Below is the code for the command:

$deploy_cmd = TeamSite::Config::iwgethome()."/iw-perl/bin/iwperl $OD_DIR/solutions/perl/iwodstart.ipl wflDotcomDeploy -k area=$branchpath -k filelist=$filesListPath -k useNode=$strStagingNode -k targetArea=$targetAreaDev";
$deploy_cmd =~s/\\/\//g;
$deploy_cmd = `$deploy_cmd`;

when I print the finally generated command in a txt file and run that command through command prompt it is giving me perfect output.

Please Advice.

Thanks
Harry

Hi,

Can you please post the command as well. Are you running the perl script with the same user as you are running the command.
If you are getting any errors in the logs, please post them too.

Try changing:

$deploy_cmd = TeamSite::Config::iwgethome()."/iw-perl/bin/iwperl $OD_DIR/solutions/perl/iwodstart.ipl ...

$deploy_cmd = $OD_DIR/bin/iwodcmd start ...

and

$deploy_cmd = `$deploy_cmd`;

my $results = qx($deploy_cmd 2>&1);
my $status = $? >>8;

and then print out (somewhere) the value of $results and $status.

The significant changes are:

The cosmetic change is to switch from using backticks (`...`) to using qx(...) - which does the exact same thing, but is less likely to get confused with single-quotes ('...') -- some fonts that can be used in editors do not make sufficient difference between the two, but they have significantly different results ....
