Hi, I'm having some trouble trying to execute the followin command from a perl script. rmdir /s /q username #this works from the command line in win2k. I tried: system 'rmdir /s /q $user' # no luck. Any suggestions? ===== Peter Lemus Computer Networks Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] My Dad always tought me; when you do good; expect to receive good; when you do bad; expect the bad...sooner or later. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
