I have a perl script that I run as root which needs to
move a file from where it is to another directory.
I keep getting the "Usage" help message and a
permission denied. If I su to root and manually make the move,
it works.
The perl script is not trying to run suid to root. I am
root when I call it. The line in question reads:
system(
"mv $directories$filename \"$directories\"deleted_keys/"
);
$directories and $filename are correctly set at the time. The
output from the script is:
usage: mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source target
mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source ... directory
/var/named/etc/namedb/dynamic/okstate.edu/deleted_keys/: Permission denied
As I said, it works if I become root and manually move the file
in question.o
This is basically a script for moving expired dnssec keys out of
the directory and in to a morgue of dead keys which we will keep
around if there is trouble-shooting to be done later.
The script, when run, is owned by root and run by root.
Any explanation is appreciated since this isn't making
sense right now.
Thank you.
