[Serusers] Re: Calling External Script from Ser.cfg

[mkumar at mantragroup.com]

Hi,

I am facing a problem returning a value from shell script for ser.cfg. I could
not even get working with exec_msg. I added a line like this

if(exec_msg('x=1; if [ $x == 0 ];then exit 1 ;fi'))

ERROR: exec_msg: cmd x=1; if [ $x == 0 ];then exit 1 ;fi failed. 
exit_status=-1,
errno=32: Broken pipe

I am getting this error but If I include this

if(exec_msg('x=0; if [ $x == 0 ];then exit 1 ;fi'))

it works. Please tell me what can I do? As described below my plan is to call
java program from shell script and use it's output.

Thanks,
M.
