Re: Net::SCP under Windows task scheduler failed

[syphilis]

dear Monks, the following works like a charme

Are you sure that your test script actually does anything ?
It would be a rare feat if you've actually got Net::SCP to do anything useful on native Windows.

I mean ... I can build, test and install Net-SCP-0.08 (and pre-requisites String-ShellQuote-1.04 & Net-SSH-0.09) on Windows without experiencing any problems. But that only happens because the test suites don't really test any functionality at all.

Or are you running under Cygwin ? (That might improve your chances somewhat.)
For "native" Windows you'll want to use the scp capabilities provided by the Net::SSH2 module.

Cheers,
Rob

my test script works fine
I run it on the Windows command shell and it does what it's suppose to do, i.e. scp a file from a remote unix server to my windows. That works fine.
But I need this to run as a windows 7 task. And that does not work. I suspect being a problem with the ssh key. How can i force net::scp to use a specific id_rsa file? is there anything like -i "my_id_rsa_file" option?

I haven't seen anything in that sense

Maybe missed something.

OK resolved !

The task scheduler under Windows 7 has a tab "Actions"
This tab has three fields
The field 'Program/script:' is pretty obvious it should contain "perl"
The field 'Add arguments' should contain the script "test.pl"
And the field 'Start in' should contain the absolute path where your argument/file is,so in my case something like "D:\my\path\"

To whom it may serve
