What is the OS of the server you are uploading it to?
-----Original Message----- From: David Gerler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 9:04 PM To: Beginners Subject: scripts run by nobody How do I make a script run as a specific user. I am working on a script that uses a pipe to send information to a program that outputs to a file. It works on win2000. I have uploaded it and it runs and works correctly when run in the debugger from a shell with the command "perl -d". The only time it doesn't run is when it is called as an action from a form in a browser. The only difference that I can find is that when call from the browser it runs as "nobody". In the debugger it runs as the login user and works correctly. When I say that it runs as nobody, I mean that the file output from the pipe is owned by "nobody". Can anyone shed any light on this? How can I make the file run as my user? Alternately, how do I make it chown the file to me. This is on a virtual host server.
