I am writing a script to ping several systems and then to run nslookup on those that fail the ping test. How do I capture the exit status of the system commands. I tried something like:
$status = system("nslookup xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"); print "$status"; but this seems to print "0" every time whether the nslookup found the IP address or not. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
