RunWait redirect to file

[lewisg]

Suddenly a RunWait command has stop working after 2 years of no errors, issues, or problems. The code uses RunWait to start Plink.exe, a command-line remote connection tool similar to UNIX ssh. I'm using it to ssh to a linux (Centos) machine, run a Perl script, and redirect the output to a file on a PC running the AutoIt script.  

 

$FilePath = "C:\AutoIT\LED"
$FilePathPlus = $FilePath & "\plink.exe"
$Code1 = RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $FilePathPlus & " -ssh -l root -pw ??????  10.170.4.163 /usr/local/nagios/etc/led.pl  >  C:\AutoIT\LED\led.txt ", @SW_SHOW)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : @ComSpec & " /c " & $FilePathPlus & " -ssh -l root -pw ?????  10.170.4.163 /usr/local/nagios/etc/led.pl  >  C:\AutoIT\LED\led.txt " = ' & @ComSpec & " /c " & $FilePathPlus & " -ssh -l root -pw ??????  10.170.4.163 /usr/local/nagios/etc/led.pl  >  C:\AutoIT\LED\led.txt " & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

The ConsoleWrite output when cut-n-pasted into a DOS box produces the expected file so I know it works. I've also tried many variations of the function moving, adding, and changing the " and ' (quote) marks. Also tried it without the @ComSpec macro and other related functions...e.g.  ShellExecuteWait , etc.

The PC is a Windows 10 64bit and AutoIT is version 3.3.14.2.

Searching here and Google has not yielded any clues that helped.

Could it be that the linux is refusing the connection? What is the result in $code1?

maybe a windows 10 update hosed you? I mean if it's not the Linux box rejecting.

I was thinking the same, seems there are some updates that screw some stuff up.

Can you still connect with Plink to that box (via AutoIt script)?   Just cant determine from your post whether the issue is the connection or the command.   This code in the link below is how I previously organized my plink commands.

The option I chose as of late was to install the linux subsystem feature and use bash, that has been most optimal.

Thanks to all, using  the link iamtheky's provided and following the example of using many (3) string variables instead of one long string, it's now working as expected.

Why it changed to begin with and why it now works, I don't know.....just glad it's solved.
