| Title | How to run Perl Scripts |
| Date Updated | 1/16/2007 |
| Versions affected | 4.0 and later |
| OS affected | Not a bug |
| Description | User can run a perl script correctly by clicking on it or from command-line. But cannot run the same script from Automize. |
| Causes | Perl is registered on your system. Hence you can manually launch the perl script, since your system associates .pl files with the perl.exe executable, and requests it to run your .pl script. However, Automize cannot associated .pl with the perl.exe. You have to format the commandline so that it launches perl.exe first. |
| Solution | In Automize, for the commandTask or the WinCommand task, the
commandLine should start with the perl executable. Please find the location of your perl executable,
then: for the commandline, use: c:\...\perl_folder\perl.exe "c:\...\perl_script_folder\adsendcleanup.pl" for the working dir, use: c:\....\perl_script_folder Or, in the Open Documents task, enter the full path to the perl script: c:\...\perl_script_folder\adsendcleanup.pl The CommandTask gives the most feedback , if your script writes to system.out or system.err. The WinCommandTask works best with batch files on windows. Open Documents task, is supposed to open a file just like you would manually by clicking on it. Open document task does not provide feedback and is generally not useful in a chain |
| Output Log | Windows Command Task Windows Command - evolve| WinCommand.exe Running CommandLine = D:\Predator\Rel.2_3\bin\ntdbevolve.pl Working Dir = D:\Predator\Rel.2_3\bin Error:: Failed to start process Windows Command - evolve - Exit Code = 1 Command Task |
