I have this alias in /etc/aliases:

apx:|/usr/local/admin/myscript.pl

This script uses Net::SSH::Perl to connect to a remote machine and execute a
command.

It works fine from the command line, however, when sendmail invokes it, it
fails.

It is tryting to create this directory: /.ssh

Root's home directory is /root/.ssh and root's ssh stuff is in /root/.ssh.

Sendmail is running as root:root.

Does anyone know why it is trying to create this directory? Is there a way I
can explictly set a HOME variable in the perl script.

Has anyone done anything similiar to this?

Thanks,
Chuck
