note Tomte <p> <blockquote> I haven't seen hello in the display OR the file /tmp/testfile has not been created. The "result" code is 256, what does it mean. </blockquote> Normaly you would do <code>my $realexitcode = $exitcode >> 8;</code>, assuming that [cpan://Sudo.pm] uses [perldoc://system] to execute sudo -- in this case this is <tt>1</tt>. Looking into <tt>sudo</tt>s man-page: <blockquote> RETURN VALUES Upon successful execution of a program, the return value from sudo will simply be the return value of the program that was executed. Otherwise, sudo quits with an exit value of 1 if there is a configuration/permission problem or if sudo cannot execute the given command. </blockquote> </p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-184363"> <p> regards,<br /> tomte <hr /> </p> <p align="right"> An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.<br>-- Albert Camus </p> </div></div> 625721 625838
