Hi,<br>I am noticing a strange problem with the way Iam trying to use updown script.<br>I have a custom updown script written in perl.<br>Whenever this script gets called with 'down-client', I want to parse the output of 'ipsec auto --status' inside this script.<br>
I am assigning the output to a perl array( my @status = `ipsec auto --status`; ).<br>However, the script hangs at this point.<br>After this all ipsec commands( executed from command line ) hang.<br><br>Iam issuing the command 'ipsec auto --down <connection name' which results in the updown script getting called.<br>
<br>I can see 2 shell processes executing the <path to ipsec>/ipsec/auto command and one whack process.<br>After I kill the whack process, things get back to normal.<br><br>What is happening here?<br>Any help is appreciated.<br>
<br>
