We need a text file containing the login information of the servers to visit. Choose a file name to taste, call it SV.fil, or, as I did, svctl (~ "server control"). No "extension" (remainder from MSDOS times) needed. As I can see, you already added your local host for ease of operation.



Yes,cat copies its stdin (or the files given as arguments) to stdout - that was just for showing readers the contents of that file.


In the while loop, we're reading the server info line by line into the SV variable, then execute a "compound command" consisting of two reads to populate two arrays' elements indexed by the CNT variable which in turn is pre-incremented once per loop, so both arrays are indexed by the same value. stdin of this compound command is redirected from a "here string", consisting of a "command substitution" $(...) that provides the stdout of the entire ssh command including the two stat commands executed on the remore node for the two target files.



With four servers in the control file, we should end up with eight file sizes, four for file1 and four for file2, in arrays FILESZ1 and FILESZ2, indexed 1 ... 4 (given CNT was unset or reset to 0 upfront). You now can work on those array elements, as you did before, like
Code:
if [ ${FILESZ1[1]} -eq ${FILESZ1[2]} ]; then

. You could do it e.g. in a for loop 2 ... 4 to improve efficiency and readability.

IO::Async::Process(3pm) 				User Contributed Perl Documentation				   IO::Async::Process(3pm)

NAME
"IO::Async::Process" - start and manage a child process SYNOPSIS
use IO::Async::Process; use IO::Async::Loop; my $loop = IO::Async::Loop->new; my $process = IO::Async::Process->new( command => [ "tr", "a-z", "n-za-m" ], stdin => { from => "hello world ", }, stdout => { on_read => sub { my ( $stream, $buffref ) = @_; while( $$buffref =~ s/^(.*) // ) { print "Rot13 of 'hello world' is '$1' "; } return 0; }, }, on_finish => sub { $loop->stop; }, ); $loop->add( $process ); $loop->run; DESCRIPTION
This subclass of IO::Async::Notifier starts a child process, and invokes a callback when it exits. The child process can either execute a given block of code (via fork(2)), or a command. EVENTS
The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE references in parameters: on_finish $exitcode Invoked after the process has exited by normal means (i.e. an exit(2) syscall from a process, or "return"ing from the code block), and has closed all its file descriptors. on_exception $exception, $errno, $exitcode Invoked when the process exits by an exception from "code", or by failing to exec(2) the given command. $errno will be a dualvar, containing both number and string values. Note that this has a different name and a different argument order from "Loop->open_child"'s "on_error". If this is not provided and the process exits with an exception, then "on_finish" is invoked instead, being passed just the exit code. CONSTRUCTOR
$process = IO::Async::Process->new( %args ) Constructs a new "IO::Async::Process" object and returns it. Once constructed, the "Process" will need to be added to the "Loop" before the child process is started. PARAMETERS
The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure": on_finish => CODE on_exception => CODE CODE reference for the event handlers. Once the "on_finish" continuation has been invoked, the "IO::Async::Process" object is removed from the containing "IO::Async::Loop" object. The following parameters may be passed to "new", or to "configure" before the process has been started (i.e. before it has been added to the "Loop"). Once the process is running these cannot be changed. command => ARRAY or STRING Either a reference to an array containing the command and its arguments, or a plain string containing the command. This value is passed into perl's exec(2) function. code => CODE A block of code to execute in the child process. It will be called in scalar context inside an "eval" block. setup => ARRAY Optional reference to an array to pass to the underlying "Loop" "spawn_child" method. fdn => HASH A hash describing how to set up file descriptor n. The hash may contain the following keys: via => STRING Configures how this file descriptor will be configured for the child process. Must be given one of the following mode names: pipe_read The child will be given the writing end of a pipe(2); the parent may read from the other. pipe_write The child will be given the reading end of a pipe(2); the parent may write to the other. Since an EOF condition of this kind of handle cannot reliably be detected, "on_finish" will not wait for this type of pipe to be closed. pipe_rdwr Only valid on the "stdio" filehandle. The child will be given the reading end of one pipe(2) on STDIN and the writing end of another on STDOUT. A single Stream object will be created in the parent configured for both filehandles. socketpair The child will be given one end of a socketpair(2); the parent will be given the other. The family of this socket may be given by the extra key called "family"; defaulting to "unix". The socktype of this socket may be given by the extra key called "socktype"; defaulting to "stream". If the type is not "SOCK_STREAM" then a IO::Async::Socket object will be constructed for the parent side of the handle, rather than "IO::Async::Stream". Once the filehandle is set up, the "fd" method (or its shortcuts of "stdin", "stdout" or "stderr") may be used to access the "IO::Async::Handle"-subclassed object wrapped around it. The value of this argument is implied by any of the following alternatives. on_read => CODE The child will be given the writing end of a pipe. The reading end will be wrapped by an "IO::Async::Stream" using this "on_read" callback function. into => SCALAR The child will be given the writing end of a pipe. The referenced scalar will be filled by data read from the child process. This data may not be available until the pipe has been closed by the child. from => STRING The child will be given the reading end of a pipe. The string given by the "from" parameter will be written to the child. When all of the data has been written the pipe will be closed. stdin => ... stdout => ... stderr => ... Shortcuts for "fd0", "fd1" and "fd2" respectively. stdio => ... Special filehandle to affect STDIN and STDOUT at the same time. This filehandle supports being configured for both reading and writing at the same time. METHODS
$pid = $process->pid Returns the process ID of the process, if it has been started, or "undef" if not. Its value is preserved after the process exits, so it may be inspected during the "on_finish" or "on_exception" events. $process->kill( $signal ) Sends a signal to the process $running = $process->is_running Returns true if the Process has been started, and has not yet finished. $exited = $process->is_exited Returns true if the Process has finished running, and finished due to normal exit(2). $status = $process->exitstatus If the process exited due to normal exit(2), returns the value that was passed to exit(2). Otherwise, returns "undef". $exception = $process->exception If the process exited due to an exception, returns the exception that was thrown. Otherwise, returns "undef". $errno = $process->errno If the process exited due to an exception, returns the numerical value of $! at the time the exception was thrown. Otherwise, returns "undef". $errstr = $process->errstr If the process exited due to an exception, returns the string value of $! at the time the exception was thrown. Otherwise, returns "undef". $stream = $process->fd( $fd ) Returns the IO::Async::Stream or IO::Async::Socket associated with the given FD number. This must have been set up by a "configure" argument prior to adding the "Process" object to the "Loop". The returned object have its read or write handle set to the other end of a pipe or socket connected to that FD number in the child process. Typically, this will be used to call the "write" method on, to write more data into the child, or to set an "on_read" handler to read data out of the child. The "on_closed" event for these streams must not be changed, or it will break the close detection used by the "Process" object and the "on_finish" event will not be invoked. $stream = $process->stdin $stream = $process->stdout $stream = $process->stderr $stream = $process->stdio Shortcuts for calling "fd" with 0, 1, 2 or "io" respectively, to obtain the IO::Async::Stream representing the standard input, output, error, or combined input/output streams of the child process. EXAMPLES
Capturing the STDOUT stream of a process By configuring the "stdout" filehandle of the process using the "into" key, data written by the process can be captured. my $stdout; my $process = IO::Async::Process->new( command => [ "writing-program", "arguments" ], stdout => { into => $stdout }, on_finish => sub { print "The process has finished, and wrote: "; print $stdout; } ); $loop->add( $process ); Note that until "on_finish" is invoked, no guarantees are made about how much of the data actually written by the process is yet in the $stdout scalar. See also the "run_child" method of IO::Async::Loop. To handle data more interactively as it arrives, the "on_read" key can instead be used, to provide a callback function to invoke whenever more data is available from the process. my $process = IO::Async::Process->new( command => [ "writing-program", "arguments" ], stdout => { on_read => sub { my ( $stream, $buffref ) = @_; while( $$buffref =~ s/^(.*) // ) { print "The process wrote a line: $1 "; } return 0; }, }, on_finish => sub { print "The process has finished "; } ); $loop->add( $process ); If the code to handle data read from the process isn't available yet when the object is constructed, it can be supplied later by using the "configure" method on the "stdout" filestream at some point before it gets added to the Loop. In this case, "stdin" should be configured using "pipe_read" in the "via" key. my $process = IO::Async::Process->new( command => [ "writing-program", "arguments" ], stdout => { via => "pipe_read" }, on_finish => sub { print "The process has finished "; } ); $process->stdout->configure( on_read => sub { my ( $stream, $buffref ) = @_; while( $$buffref =~ s/^(.*) // ) { print "The process wrote a line: $1 "; } return 0; }, ); $loop->add( $process ); Sending data to STDIN of a process By configuring the "stdin" filehandle of the process using the "from" key, data can be written into the "STDIN" stream of the process. my $process = IO::Async::Process->new( command => [ "reading-program", "arguments" ], stdin => { from => "Here is the data to send " }, on_finish => sub { print "The process has finished "; } ); $loop->add( $process ); The data in this scalar will be written until it is all consumed, then the handle will be closed. This may be useful if the program waits for EOF on "STDIN" before it exits. To have the ability to write more data into the process once it has started. the "write" method on the "stdin" stream can be used, when it is configured using the "pipe_write" value for "via": my $process = IO::Async::Process->new( command => [ "reading-program", "arguments" ], stdin => { via => "pipe_write" }, on_finish => sub { print "The process has finished "; } ); $loop->add( $process ); $process->stdin->write( "Here is some more data " ); AUTHOR
