Could not print custom messages on device connection failure

[Balakrishnan-Easwaran]

Hi Team,

It is not possible to print custom messages if the script could not connect to the device (through SSH/Netconf or ICMP reachability).

In the sample script get_system_information.pl , the below line doesn't work.

if(! $jnx ) {
       print STDERR "Unable to connect to Junos device \n";
       exit 1;
}

I would like to write a syslog message if the script wasn't able to connect to the device. But it is not working. It is not working in the sample script as well.

Waiting for your kind response.

Thank you.
