Hi All,
At the moment I am using the system() fuctions to run external commands as
follows:
print "Run \"userdel -r $arg\" [y/N] ";
chop ($answer=<STDIN>);
if ($answer =~ /^y/i) {
print "Deleting account....";
system("userdel -r $arg");
print "....Done\n";
}
However, if "system("userdel -r $arg");" prints any errors, nothing appears
on screen! For example, I am runng this script as a normal user (not root),
which should print the following error.
andrewt@sat:~$ userdel -r $arg
bash: userdel: command not found
But when run from the script nothing happens.
How can I capture the output? Or at least have the output print to screen.
