Subject: [Swatch-users] exec and missing data


Hi,

I was trying to send the data from alog to a perl script as argument vector as:

watchfor /Error: Multiple logins:/
         echo
         exec echo $* >> /mydir/myfile

But, when I get the data in the perl script it send me trancated data in some
cases. For exmple:

I get the following output from the "echo" line above

Mon Oct  1 04:13:27 2001: Error: Multiple logins: [unal] (from nas tcm) max. 1
Mon Oct  1 04:15:16 2001: Error: Multiple logins: [unal] (from nas tcm) max. 1
Mon Oct  1 07:21:26 2001: Error: Multiple logins: [tair] (from nas tcm) max. 1
Mon Oct  1 08:40:35 2001: Error: Multiple logins: [eam] (from nas hiper) max. 1

and I get the following output from the "exec echo $* >> /mydir/myfile" line above:

Mon Oct 1 04:13:27 2001: Error: Multiple logins: [unal] (from nas tcm) max. 1
Mon Oct 1 04:15:16 2001: Error: Multiple logins: [unal] (from nas tcm) max. 1
Mon Oct 1 07:21:26 2001: Error: Multiple logins: t (from nas tcm) max. 1
Mon Oct 1 08:40:35 2001: Error: Multiple logins: [eam] (from nas hiper) max. 1

As you can see, the 3rd line's field 9 is trancated. This happens even if I use
"exec /mydir/myfile.pl $*".

Any idea why this is happening?

Please need urgent help.

Zia
