Trapping Question - Bad use of Perl?

djo2112

I'm working in TS 6.7.1 on Win2k3 and WFM 1.0

I'd like to see what's coming back from the OpenDeploy call. This is working but I'd like to handle some issues when it doesn't work. Here's a snippet:

[html]
# -- Setup OpenDeploy command
my $odcmd = join(" ","$odhome\\bin\\iwodstart","$ODCLIENT_DEPLOYMENT");
# -- Call OpenDeploy
`$odcmd`;
my $retval = Win32::GetLastError();
print "Retval ODCommand: $retval\n";
[/html]

The value of $retval is 109 upon success. That doesn't feel right to me so please feel free to critique my logic and code.

Thanks.

-Dave

- "iwodstart" is obsolete and has been kept for backward compatibility only. You'll find your task much simpler if you use "iwodcmd start" instead.
