drakx/perl-install/run_program.pm, branch V1_1_9_45mdk

allow the saving in perl variable to be done even if the exit status is not 0

2002-08-21T13:04:48+00:00

add get_stdout (similar to rooted_get_stdout)

2002-08-11T17:02:50+00:00

(raw): new function allowing special options like {timeout}

2002-08-06T12:58:58+00:00

- fix $ENV{HOME} value to '/root' if usermode break it

2002-07-31T13:59:01+00:00

fix rooted() when chrooted and saving the result in a perl variable

2002-07-29T19:51:11+00:00

(rooted_get_stdout): handle one line return using wantarray

2002-07-26T17:11:21+00:00

- also give the ability to redirect to an array ref

2002-07-26T17:03:10+00:00

- add rooted_get_stdout which is alike ``

add 2 functionalities to run_program:

2002-07-26T16:25:26+00:00

- run_program::run(prog, '>', 'STDOUT', ...)
  run_program::run(prog, '2>', 'STDERR, ...)
  which will run with verbatim stdout or stderr
- run_program::run(prog, '>', \$s, ...)
  run_program::run(prog, '2>', \$s, ...)
  which will return the stdout (resp. stderr) of the program in $s

remove assigning STDIN to /dev/null since:

2002-02-15T16:36:06+00:00

- programs should not use STDIN
- the "postInstall" script for auto_install's is more happy still having the STDIN.

changed exit code of failed exec in rooted to 128 instead of 1 (may clash with

2001-07-12T13:34:24+00:00

exit code of fsck else).
