Re: [Ssh-sftp-perl-users] help with login failure and perl script exiting.

[Nick E. <Nic...@pg...>]

Hi David,

I had the exact same issue.

Not knowing Perl very well, I looked up error handling on google and
found that if I wrap BOTH the "new" mehod and the "login" function in an
"eval {}" block, the script will just stuff the errors into the @_
variable..


  eval { $ssh = Net::SSH::Perl->new("$hostname"); };
  if($@) { 
          print "Got an error, skipping this host"; 
         <add what you want to do>
          }
  eval { $ssh->login("me","pass"); };
  if($@) { 
          print "Got an error, skipping this host"; 
         <add what you want to do>
          }


Hope this helps :)

Nick

Hello Folks,

 

I have over 800 Cisco Routers that I need to ssh into.  

I do a socket connection test to skip any routers that are not
listening on
port 22,

But if the logon authentication fails, then my perl script exits.

I would like to log it and move on..

 

Does anybody have some code samples that logs failures and continues
without
exiting the perl script?

 

 

Thanks in Advance,

 

(Thanks Eric,  I think this is working now!!)
