| Hi Folks,
I have a requirement from the clinet where in i have to take control of the
machines (either by telnet,SSH). My first point to be addressed is how can i
take a remote machine TELNET through perl script and also once i take the
same i have to check the type of operating system and then find the size of
the disks partitioned. Waiting for your help at the earliest
Thanks in Advance

I would look at Network Programming with Perl by Lincoln D. Stein. I
might also have a look at CPAN (search.cpan.org) and search for telnet
and or socket.

| Hi Mazhar
To find out what OS you are running try someting like this:
my $os = $^0;
Now f.e. if you are running linux, your $os = "linux" ...
Hope this helps...

Just one thing: Don't use telnet unless absolutely necessary. It's unsecure
since all data is transferred in plain text. Even if you don't login as root
(or su to root after login): Don't use it.

Can you get the OS of a remote machine by $^O?

If you can't convince them, confuse them.
