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 co=
nfiguration works in UNIX. We need to call expect from the shell script thr=
ough the JSP to capture the output.

 my case I am launching the shell script from a JSP, and the shell script g=
ets called properly, however I can do everything from the shell script but =
call expect. For example touch ls, pwd, cd, echo all work, but expect does =
not. I tried specifying the full path to expect and going into /usr/bin and=
 running expect as ./. My TERM is now set to VT100 and my CYGWIN variable i=
s the default. Here is the shell script. Any ideas? What is also interestin=
g is if I run the shell script both from the cmd or cygwin.bat it works, bu=
t does not work from the shell script.

What exactly is the error when expect is called in the failing
configuration?
