Thanks for the tips. I did check cygcheck -c and noticed expect was installed and it returns 0 when the script is run from the command prompt. Seems something specific only to the way the JSP is calling the shell. Maybe something is not passed.

Check the exit code after running expect. Assuming expect failed due to a missing DLL, the exit code should indicate that by being non-zero. You might try reinstalling at least expect and perhaps all other Cygwin packages. I think cygcheck may be able to tell you what exactly might be missing as well if you would like to debug this further. -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
