I apologize in advance if this is off topic.  I was
wondering if maybe this is a general problem Cygwin,
passwords, and inline scripts, or if this was specific
to Cygwin and Sybase.

I'm trying to use Sybase's isql by doing the
following:
isql -S server -U user <<EOF
$password
$command
go
quit
go
EOF

where $password holds the password and $command holds
the command to be executed.

Under Cygwin (with various settings of tty) isql still
prompts for a password.  If I use the -P option to
isql and leave the rest of the inline script alone,
isql works fine.

Under Solaris isql works fine.

Am I missing something?

TIA,
Noel
