I have a shell script that I am executing like this $files =
shellscript;
but if I do an if ($files) it doesn't read $files as existing. The contents
of the shell script is a smbclient line that copies a bunch of DBF files from
another machine. Anyone have any idea? Below is a little snipit of my code
$files = updatemp;
if ($files) {
print "$files<br>";
print "I am god";
} else {
print "$files";
print "It's ok you'll get it working. =)";
}
The contents of the updatemp file is as follows
smbclient //machine/c -I 192.168.0.4 -U armando%secret -D a1 -c 'lcd /tmp/dbf
; prompt ; mget *.dbf ; quit'
Thanks in advance,
Armando
