Is it safe to start a script (especially a Perl script) from inetd ? (by safe I mean that nobody can use the script to break my system) If my script starts with #!, should I use '/path1/perl /path2/script' or only '/path2/script' ? What must I do to protect the script (signal handling, error handling...) ? Thanks for your help. -- Lionel Cons +------- CERN - European Laboratory for Particle Physics -------+ | E-mail: cons@dxcern.cern.ch | | Earth-mail: CN/SW/WS, CERN, CH-1211 GENEVE 23, Switzerland | | Phone: +41 22 767 49 13 Fax: +41 22 767 71 55 | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
