No errors. :( Just does not run from the shell script when called from the JSP, however the script works when called from command prompt. This same configuration works in UNIX. We need to call expect from the shell script through the JSP to capture the output.

What exactly is the error when expect is called in the failing configuration? -Jeremy -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
