Here are a couple other options:
$cmd = "/sbin/command whatever";
system $cmd;
OR
@args = ("command", "arg1", "arg2");
system(@args) == 0
or die "system @args failed: $?"
You can check all the failure possibilities by inspecting $?
OR
$cmd = `\sbin\command whatever`;
$cmd will return status code

I am trying to run a Perl script using rsh. I need to be able to capture the return code value, so the calling script can handle failures properly.
I cannot modify the Perl script I need to run because we use it for all of our servers.
Does anyone have a suggestion? (1 Reply)

uadmin
uadmin(1M) uadmin(1M)
NAME
uadmin - administrative control
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/uadmin cmd fcn [mdep]
/sbin/uadmin cmd fcn [mdep]
The uadmin command provides control for basic administrative functions. This command is tightly coupled to the system administration proce-
dures and is not intended for general use. It may be invoked only by the super-user.
Both the cmd (command) and fcn (function) arguments are converted to integers and passed to the uadmin system call. The optional mdep
(machine dependent) argument is only available for the cmd values of 1 (A_REBOOT), 2 (A_SHUTDOWN), or 5 (A_DUMP). For any other cmd value,
no mdep command-line argument is allowed.
When passing an mdep value that contains whitespaces, the string must be grouped together as a single argument enclosed within quotes, for
example:
uadmin 1 1 "-s kernel/unix"
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Availability |SUNWcsu |

uadmin(2), attributes(5)
On systems, shutting down the system by means of uadmin does not update the boot archive. Avoid using this command after manual editing of
files such as /etc/system or driver.conf(4).
