Run system command in perl cgi
Hi guys,
got a problem with a perl cgi script over here. I need it to run a system command to get the status of a process. Unfortunately the process is owned by a specific user and only this user can get its status. So i tried running the command from the perl cgi with "su", but then i get the following logfile entry:
Quote:
su: must be run from a terminal
Anybody knows how to solve this problem? Another command? Another setting somewhere?

NAME
Web::Simple::Deployment - various deployment options
DESCRIPTION
This file documents common deployment methods for Web::Simple. If you feel one is missing, please ask in the IRC channel and we'll work
with you to add it.
CGI
The most basic deployment option is as a CGI script loading and running your Web::Simple-module:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use Your::Web::Simple::App;
Your::Web::Simple::App->run_if_script;
Save that as script.cgi and your web server will handle it correctly.
Plack-Server
This works in with exactly the same code as CGI deployment. However instead of letting your web server load script.cgi, you run this on the
command line:
plackup script.cgi
Self-contained CGI
Sometimes your app is so small that you have only one or two tiny classes that you want to run as a CGI script. Web::Simple offers a
helpful mechanism to achieve that.
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use Web::Simple 'HelloWorld'; # enables strictures and warnings for the file
# additionally, HelloWorld is upgraded to a
# Web::Simple application
{
package HelloWorld;
sub dispatch_request {
sub (GET) {
[
200,
[ 'Content-type', 'text/plain' ],
[ 'Hello world! It is a fine ' . HelloWorld::Helper->day ]
]
},
sub () {
[ 405, [ 'Content-type', 'text/plain' ], [ 'Method not allowed' ] ]
}
}
}
{
package HelloWorld::Helper;
use DateTime;
sub day {
return DateTime->now->day_name;
}
}
HelloWorld->run_if_script;
