Re: [Networker] capture recover command output

I'm not sure how you implemented this.. Some code would help clear things up..
But if you used perl's open with a pipe for recover, the open command can only
do either input or output, not both simultaneously.
i.e. as much as we'd like this to work:
$pid = open(HANDLE, "|cmd args|");
it doesn't work as you would hope.
See http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/open.html for further information, there
are other utilities that do this if that's the behavior you are looking for.
Although I haven't used it in a long time (usually found another way around
it), open2 might provide what you are looking for.
Good luck,
Will Aymond

Subject: [Networker] capture recover command output
I am working on a perl script to help automate the recover command.
We do full backups of our lotus notes everyday. We hold 2 weeks of daily
backups and 12 weeks of weekly backups. From time to time, we are required to
restore every possible backup of someones email. I already wrote the script to
automate the restores. However, I am trying to capture the output of the
command line recover command and send it to a file. This way if someone leaves
a restore going over night they can have a restore report when they come in the
morning. No matter which way i try to capture the output, I cant seem to get it
to the file. Does anyone have any kind of insight on this problem. Or has
anyone even tryed this before? Thanks
