in reply to Disconnect from Remote Server

For your particular example, you can use SFTP instead of running remote commands and capturing their output.

This script from the Net::SFTP::Foreign distribution shows how to emulate a tail -f over SFTP.

    Hello,

    I get the following error message, when I execute the perl script:

    Undefined subroutine &Net::SFTP::Foreign::_catch_tainted_args called at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10/Net/SFTP/Foreign.pm line 156. 

    #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use Net::SFTP::Foreign;
use Fcntl qw(SEEK_END);


my ($host, $file, $user, $pwd, $port) = undef;

my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new($host, $user, $pwd, $port);
$sftp->error and die "Unable to connect to remote host: ".$sftp->error
+."\n";

    Thanks,
