I am not sure whether this is Oracle issue because if I use the same command from the command prompt of Windows, it does work. e.g. the following command works from windows does prompt. The files gets created in d:\oracle8i\exp directory. exp system/manager file=d:\Oracle8i\Exp\Exp.dmp full=Y
but the same thing does not work well when executed from cygwin shell. -----Original Message----- From: Larry Hall (RFK Partners, Inc) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 12:38 PM To: Sanjay Gupta; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: Path Name Help At 03:34 PM 2/28/2002, Sanjay Gupta wrote: >OS : Win NT 4.0 SP 6a > >I am writing shell script which does Oracle Export.

Sounds like a problem that you should be asking Oracle about, or am I missing why this is a Cygwin issue?
