Uh, it's a shell script *containing* a single ssh command. Note the shebang. Also note the mention of the filename "test.sh", which is not to be confused with the script "start.sh" on the remote machine. > The multiple export statements are superfluous. Surely not, if you want the definitions to be visible in the sub-shell that executes "start.sh"? > The "cd" looks superfluous, too. Surely not, unless /cygdrive/c/apps/bin is the qa user's home dir? > Also the "pwd". Surely not, if it's a bit of debugging trace that lets ZW know that the directory exists and so the cd command succeeded and there must be something else wrong if the script doesn't execute? > Also the "exit". Ok, I'm with you there :-) But I still think one of us needs more coffee... cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/
