Bigbro's foray into the scary world of blogging
...trying to make Perl and AutoSSH play nice with each other. I suspect that 4:55am is probably not the best time of the morning to do the intricate debugging required to determine why autossh is dying as soon as I start it off with exec() - yet when I paste the exact same commandline at a shell prompt it works perfectly. I've probably made some subtle typo in my process management code.
Tomorrow's another day... or later today is... or something - definitely something.
On the plus side, I've rediscovered the value of Data::Dumper for debugging Perl data structures. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
