Error running a system call to perl using --noscreen switch

[Gar]

Hi,

I've a modified perl script that automates the management of user quotas
on certain volumes (it adds 50MB to the user quota when they have less
than 10MB left).
The volumes are clustered, so can reside on any of three nodes.
I've created a calling script that runs on each node nightly, that
checks the _ADMIN:volumes for volume presence before running the quota
management script.
The problem I have is, that when I try to call the quota management
script using the --noscreen switch I get the following error:-
"Error unloading killed loadable module (LIBPERL.NLM) Perl 5.8.4 -
Script Interpreter and Library".

The command run from the initial script is
# Prepare the command and arguments for system call
@args = ("perl","--noscreen","$path\\$qscript","$server","$volume");
# Run the quota management script for this volume
system(@args);

The scripts run without problems when the "--noscreen" argument is left
out - I'm just left with the unclosed perl windows.

Any suggestions much appreciated.
Regards,
Gar.

That worked a treat Guenter.
Many Thanks,
