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.
Thanks
Chris
