ssh command in WFM external task

prabs

Hi
I am trying to run an external task that executes a perl script which has ssh command as below

my $cmdForClusterList = "/usr/bin/ssh -l weblogic -q" . " " . "\'ls -1 2>/dev/null\'";

my @RunningInst = `$cmdForClusterList 2>&1`;

When it encounters the ssh execution line it gets stuck and doen't proceed. The perl command configured in the command attribute of external task is "/apps/Interwoven/ControlHub/iw-perl/bin/iwperl /apps/Interwoven/ControlHub/custom/bin/qfTesting.ipl". I have already configured ssh key for the external task owner configured in the server, so there is no password issues.

Any help in this regard is appreciable

You might want to look into the downloading/installation/usage of:

to verify the real/effective userid/groupid of the task process owner - it may not be who you think it is...
