Try
$result = `rsh $plant /u1/bin/forkit '/u1/bin/work.pl'`;
print $result;
You are storing the output of the rsh... command into the variable. You can
now run a regex on that to check for success/failure.
I don't know what the output should be but as an example...
$result = `rsh $plant /u1/bin/forkit '/u1/bin/work.pl'`;
if ($result =~ /worked/i) {
print "Yep, that worked\n";
} else {
print "Ooops. Something went wrong: $result";
}

Subject: still not catching error
I took out the exec and placed system. But even though work.pl doesn't
exist on the remote system, still getting no error. Help!
if (system("rsh $plant /u1/bin/forkit '/u1/bin/work.pl'") > 0)
{
excep(" $!\n");
}
