Geoff,

I really wish I could enable guest comments. The problem is there are too many spambots out there trying to add links in blog posts for search engine optimization. I don’t want to help them out.

What release of OpenSolaris are you using?

Use of uninitialized value in string eq at zpadmin.pl line 45. Use of uninitialized value in split at zpadmin.pl line 48. Use of uninitialized value in string eq at zpadmin.pl line 123." I contacted the script's creator, Paul, who informed me the reason for the errors was probably because zpool is not in cron's PATH. However, when I tried to set PATH=/usr/sbin as line in crontab, the system didn't like this and wouldn't let me save the file. Instead, I had to change every instance of the "zpool" command in the script to "/usr/sbin/zpool", which fixed the problem and allowed me to run the script in cron. If anyone knows how to set PATH in cron/crontab feel free to chime in, otherwise this fix should work. Also, guest comments should be enabled :) I had a problem with OpenSolaris giving errors with the cron job:

“Can’t exec “zpool”: No such file or directory at
zpadmin.pl line 44.
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at zpadmin.pl
line 45.
Use of uninitialized value in split at zpadmin.pl
line 48.
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at zpadmin.pl
line 123.”
