Ron, I think you meant to send this to the list, too :)
I don't know ksh, so I am terribly familiar with what's going on there, but it doesn't
look
terribly difficult.
I still don't know if you need anything returned to the user. If you don't and these
programs
don't take long to run, you could use the multiple argument form of system.
system( $program, $client, $stagger, $start );
If you need the return data, you could use backticks. You state that you verify the
input, I
would just caution you that this is *very* dangerous.
I'm sure there are other ways to do this, but you're heading into administrative
territory and
that's not my strong suit. Someone else on the list is probably better prepared to
answer this.
Cheers,
Curtis
