You *did* properly escape the command string, right? Otherwise,
my $str = `ssh -n [EMAIL PROTECTED] ls`;
will try to interpolate the contents of the array @machine into the command... You need to use
my $str = `ssh -n [EMAIL PROTECTED] ls`;
BTW, the -n flag is still useful, since some commands don't properly run otherwise.
yep, everything is escaped as needed. I know that by looking at the debug output:
debug1: Sending command: ls <path to file I care about>
I've also printed the command to stdout and pasted it into a windows cmd shell and cygwin terminal with success.
If I use system("<cmd>"); instead of `<cmd>`;, the command returns 0, (no hang). Unfortunately system wont work for my needs, as it is critical I evaluate stdout:stderr.
I do appreciate your help. Stephen
