In my case I am launching the shell script from a JSP, and the shell script gets 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 is the default. Here is the shell script. Any ideas? What is also interesting is if I run the shell script both from the cmd or cygwin.bat it works, but does not work from the shell script.

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