net telnet mount

[sydneypuente]

Hello Guys,
Not sure if this is the correct group tpo post on.
Am using net telnet inside cygwin on my windows laptop to invoke an
NFS mount on a remote solaris box.
print "accessing $host\n";

my $t = new Net::Telnet;
$t->open($host);
$t->login("root", "password");
print "mounting software \n";
$t->cmd(String => " mount -F nfs 192.168.1.18:/expo /mnt",
Timeout = 60);
Works just fine.
Except when the target box is switched off!
How can I check that the mount has succeeded please?

TIA

Syd

From the Net::Telnet docs re: open

open - connect to port on remote host


$ok = $obj->open($host); $ok = $obj->open([Host => $host,]
[Port => $port,]
[Errmode => $mode,]
[Timeout => $secs,]);This method opens a TCP connection
to $port on $host. If either argument is missing then the current value of
host() or port() is used. Optional named parameters are provided to override
the current setting of errmode and timeout.

On success 1 is returned. On time-out or other connection failures, the
error mode action is performed. See errmode().

Ah. My question was not clear. I want too pick up on the situation
when 192.168.1.18 is not reachable. Currently if the nfs mount fails
no error message is generated.
