Perl script monitor Does not return expected output

HI All,

Good Day !!

We have written a perl script to monitor changes in /boot directory of unix devices , As per the script a back up of /boot in /var/tmp will be diff with the original /boot directory and returns an output

The script runs fine from server level , with the expected output when there is a change in logs as well as when there is no change

But when run from application , during the first polling the script runs as expected and returns a output stating that there is no change in logs ( backup dir is created in /var/tmp )

But when a dummy file is created inside /boot and the script run , it is not returning the desired output i.e: there is a change in logs ( Note : When run from server it is returning an expected output )

Are you getting any error codes or messages?

What application are you running it from?

Have you the ability to log the actions of the script so that you can see what data it is handling and the results of each step?

Would you share the contents of the script here so we can maybe see where it could be not working as expected?
