Is there any other test I might try that would help you debug this? -- I'm not convinced the remote command is being invoked. Here is an informal test I ran on my home PC on 12/27 after 10pm: $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.0 argon 1.5.19s(0.149/4/2) 20051227 16:45:51 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin $ ls -lu /bin/echo #last access time -rwxrwxrwx 1 Administrator Users 18944 Dec 27 04:05 /bin/echo* $ ssh localhost -l adm_tsr '/bin/echo hi' adm_tsr@localhost's password: $ : nothing echoed - the problem! $ ls -lu /bin/echo # next line shows /bin/echo was not read in ssh session -rwxrwxrwx 1 Administrator Users 18944 Dec 27 04:05 /bin/echo* $ /bin/echo xx #force read now xx $ ls -lu /bin/echo -rwxrwxrwx 1 Administrator Users 18944 Dec 27 22:51 /bin/echo* $ So the ssh session silently dies before the remote '/bin/echo' command runs? -- thanks, Tom -- BTW, I just re-ran the test, and found ssh exits w/status 0. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
