In= 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. >=20 > Everything works but the expect command: >=20 > #!/bin/sh >=20 > echo `date` " - Starting shell script." >=20 > touch /apps/sjsws/sunws-automation/https-autodemo.com/docs/runshell >=20 > #echo `date` " - Copy properties file." >=20 > #file=3D`basename $6` >=20 > #echo `date` " - Run build on: " $file >=20 >=20 > expect /apps/sjsws/sunws-automation/https-autodemo.com/docs/jdk/RunJDKIns= tall.exp $1 $2 $3 $4 >=20 > #expect /cygdrive/d/apps/https-game-automation/docs/jdk/RunJDKInstall.exp= 1 $2 $3 $4 >=20 >=20 > echo `date` " - Finished."
