ATTN: Pproxy operators; great little script in here for auto-updating By Host section.

[CLL Sr]

I tried this script in debug mode and it gave me this error? Any ideas?

D:\stats>perl -w stripcache.pl
syntax error at stripcache.pl line 104, next char )
Execution of stripcache.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Russ,

It sounds like a path problem of some kind. My company did our earnings release today and my brain is fried right now, but I'll try and take a look at the way the path is determined. cron might assume a different root directory that isn't being picked up by the script.

Either that, or there's something weird about the permission setting for the ini file.

Too tired to think about it today ...

CLL Sr,

I'm going to take a wild guess on yours and postulate that you have an extra carriage return in the script. You might try a fresh copy and see what happens.

Michael,

Paths and permissions are the first thing that I thought of. But, they are set the same as they are for two other scripts that I'm cronning in that directory.

Well Russ I took your recommendation and now I get a different error.


D:\stats>perl -w stripcache.pl

Any other ideas?

 

[Russ]

Well, the first two lines are WAY over my head. The typo stuff doesn't matter; I get it on mine also, but it still works.

[CLL Sr]

Russ could you possibly either email or post a portion of your "cacheini".

When I run the script I only get a blank page with my totals.

I have to get back to work for now.

I'll check into this more tonight.
Thanks everyone.

Russ: the "$inifile =" entry needs a complete path, too. According to your output yours doesn't have that.

CLL Sr: When run onder windows, all slashes in your path setting need to be double ones, eg $rc5cache = "I:\\logs\\rc5-dns.cache";
Your errors look like you have something like $rc5cache = "I:/stats/rc5-dns.cache";

 

[Russ]

Pinball,

Yep, that was it. I assumed that since I popped it in to the same directory as the affected files, the full path wasn't necessary. It didn't dawn on my thick head that since cron executes from a different directory, it would need the path.

Crons like a champ, now. Thanks!😀

Russ, NCNE

 

[CLL Sr]

Ok I changed the path entries. I am going to post some of my ini file and see if it is right.

205.216.90,radiks.net
63.239,dwx.net
24.22.229,GreenValley
24.187.159,Jennifer
63.224,Angie

Does this look like it should?

The new error is long.

I can't tell on what line it starts but it ends on line 155.

CLL Sr,

HeHe. I recognize that one. You have blank space somewhere in the ini file. (I think - see my similar post above).

Russ, NCNE

 

[Michael]

Here I was just about to say my brain is working again and you need to path to the ini file and pinball beats me to it <grin>.

Michael

 

[CLL Sr]

By George I think I've got it! Not without your welcomed help. Thanks to all who posted.

p.s. It looks so much nicer and I don't have to remember all those numbers.🙂

see for yourselfhere.

 

[Russ]

Bumpity-bump.
