why wont this script run?
i have this script i wrote, it chokes when running the add install client commandit keeps telling me the add_install_client command is incorrect.
When I put the print statement in front of the command so it will echo it, the command looks right on the screen. Yes im am an ametuer, im trying to learn perl, any help would be appreciated.. thanks!


#usr/bin/perl
#
# USAGE:
# jumpit arg1 arg2 arg3 arg4
#
# arg1 = Number O/S (8, 9 or 10)
# arg2 = Hostname
# arg3 = IP Address
# arg4 = MAC Address
#
echo "$3 $2" >> /etc/hosts
echo "$4 $2" >> /etc/ethers
cd /export/config/Solaris$1/
echo "hostname $2 - $2 -" >> /export/config/Solaris$1/rules
/export/config/Solaris$1/check
#
cd /export/install/Solaris"$1"/Solaris_"$1"/Tools/
/export/install/Solaris"$1"/Solaris_"$1"/Tools/add_install_client -c motjmpst:/e
xport/config/Solaris"$1" -p motjmpst:/export/config/Solaris"$1 $2" sun4u


Here is what i get when i change the command in the script to be printed on the screen:

# ./jumpit 9 brian 192.168.15.11 8:0:20:c0:8f:a1
Validating rules...

The custom JumpStart configuration is ok.

/export/install/Solaris9/Solaris_9/Tools/add_install_client -c motjmpst:/export/config/Solaris9 -p motjmpst:/export/config/Solaris9 brian sun4u

This is the correct command syntax it works if i type it into the command line, so im not sure why its not running from within the script.

NAME

       script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS

       script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  script  utility  makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
       record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

       The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
       when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -a	Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.

NOTES

       script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

WARNINGS

       script  can  pose  a  security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
       privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
