Perl/TK looping
That's a step in the right direction, but unfortunately spawns a new problem. A capture of network traffic shows that it does indeed ping minutely with your while loop in place, but unfortunately it stays in the loop pinging away and never gets around to drawing the gui. :-/ I tried the add a... -
Perl/TK looping
The process is pinging every node in my cluster to verify they're up. In this case, there's no specific event to trigger the update (I put an "update now" function elsewhere), it should just happen each minute. Here's a *highly* condensed (since I'm fairly certain that how I draw the... -
Perl/TK looping
I'm having trouble making a Perl/TK gui update itself automatically. Shorthand, it should be able to sit active in the background and perform the job it was built for about once a mintue. Anyone know how to do this? Tom Ragsdale stingray@acl.lanl.gov -
ADSI automation
Hello, I'm using ADSI to manage a big chunk of remote install (using RIS) computers in Windows 2000 server (using the LDAP style, of course), and I've run into a problem with automating the process. I need to create accounts for all the computers, naturally, and to get the RIS stuff functional...- Rajoidea

ADSI octal strings
I'm using the Win32::OLE module to work with the ADSI in windows 2000 server. I have a large number of computers which I must create AD accounts for, but it's not going well. With the Win32::OLE module in the latest ActiveState version of perl, I can get in and create the computer account... -
System info question (on NT)
I think the easiest way to find the home of the windows/winnt folder is to use the ENV hash. If you say something like $path = $ENV{"PATH"} you'll find the directory you need with a little parsing. To get the name of the user executing the script, you can use the Win32::LoginName... -
GETTING STARTED WITH PERL FOR WINDOWS
Another option (at least what worked for me) is to make sure the path to Perl.exe was in my system path. In my case, all I had to do there was add "C:\Perl\bin" (or wherever you installed Perl) to the path in the system variables part of the environment variables. Then, just because... -
Variables as pattern matching options
This trick depends a little on which version of perl you use. It works in the newest 5.6 stuff, and I know it dosen't work before 5.0, but in between is a grey area for me. Basically, you want to do a precompiled regular expression in your search with qr (man perl opt for more info). Assuming... -
Forked process management problem in Win32

Forked process management problem in Win32
I will admit up front I am not pursuing the smartest course. I am attempting to use the fork call in a Win32 environment from the Activestate distribution, which they openly admit is buggy. Unfortunately, The Man wants it this way, despite warnings in the helpfiles to the effect of "You... -
See if a system is up and running..
There's an alternative format for Net::Ping that I like to use as well, which may yield better results for you. This is an excerpt from a script I use to, as you said, see if a machine is up or down. This (part of the code - don't ask about the rest :( ) runs great in Windows 2000, but I haven't...
