Ok,

And now it complains about this test if there is another instance of the Pidfile running:

Code:
root@comp:/directory/script# perl script.pl Can't locate object method "new" via package "Proc::Pidfile" (perhaps you forgot to load "Proc::Pidfile"?) at script.pl line 18.

So I added at Line 7:

Code:
use Proc::Pidfile;

...but now I get a different error. Wow I am really new at this...

Code:
root@comp:/directory/script# perl script.pl 
Can't locate Proc/Pidfile.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at script.pl line 7. 
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at script.pl line 7.

Does this mean that something is not installed correctly in my perl distro (using Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS)?

Ok nevermind,
Seems that I was using an HP-UX native Perl library on Ubuntu.

Corrected:

Code:
#must install libproc-pid-file-perl package 
use Proc::PID::File;

my $pp = Proc::PID::File->new (pidfile => $RunFile) or die "Unable to create pidfile: $RunFile\n";

instead of:
Code:
use Proc::Pidfile; 

#my $pp = Proc::Pidfile->new (pidfile => $RunFile) or die "Pidfile exists or can't be created: $!\n";

I am still not getting the desired output I guess. When the script runs, I am being told that my supervisor that the script will not create the file handle $OutfileH:

And I guess that is correct because I have to Ctrl-C out of it to get the following error:

Code:
root@comp:/directory/script# perl script.pl 
^C print() on closed filehandle $OutfileH at script.pl line 28.

Line 28 being the following:

Code:
#Run the shell script through perl program 
system( $RunScript, ">>/directory/logs/script.log 2>&1" ) == 0 or print $OutfileH &nicetime ."Script FAILED\n" or exit(1);
