Hi everyone..... Ive been doing some research into my little script delemma and im wondering if anyone has any suggestions. Basically, what I need is a nice simple perl script I can execute like the following - % newscript abcdefg and basically making it take the first argument after the script, and spawn off the following lines to execute the cu program - % cu -l /dev/cuaa1 -s 38400 > abcdefg <ctrl z> Im a novice at this stuff, but if I could see some sort of examples on how to do this, I can work the rest out. In the first part of the proposed perl script, it will access an sql database, get the needed data etc etc. I know how to do the sql stuff, but the actual accessing cu and issuing it the commands, the data and the CTRL Z command is baffling me.
