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...
Validating profile ultra5bg...
Validating profile brian...
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.

LEARN ABOUT SUSE

grub-install.unsupported

GRUB-INSTALL(8) 							FSF							   GRUB-INSTALL(8)

NAME

       grub-install - install GRUB on your drive

SYNOPSIS

       grub-install [OPTION] install_device

DESCRIPTION

       Install GRUB on your drive.

       -h, --help
	      print this message and exit

       -v, --version
	      print the version information and exit

       --root-directory=DIR
	      install GRUB images under the directory DIR instead of the root directory

       --grub-shell=FILE
	      use FILE as the grub shell

       --no-floppy
	      do not probe any floppy drive

       --force-lba
	      force GRUB to use LBA mode even for a buggy BIOS

       --recheck
	      probe a device map even if it already exists

       INSTALL_DEVICE can be a GRUB device name or a system device filename.

       grub-install  copies GRUB images into the DIR/boot directory specfied by --root-directory, and uses the grub shell to install grub into the
       boot sector.

       The grub source distribution carries this script to ease the installation of grub as a boot loader. In Suse Linux however,  grub  installa-
       tion  is  much  better handled by Yast; use of this script is generally discouraged and therefore unsupported. Consequently, the script has
       been renamed to grub-install.unsupported.

       In order to (re-)install grub for the currently running system, simply use Yast. For an installation aiming  at	a  differing  system,  the
       crafting  of an appropriate device.map and grub shell script is strongly advised, e.g.  "grub --batch --device-map=target-device.map < tar-
       get-grub.conf"

       The full documentation for grub-install is maintained as a Texinfo manual.  If the info and grub-install programs are properly installed at
       your site, the command

	      info grub-install

       should give you access to the complete manual.
