Hello, I've got a problem with redirection in Cygwin.
Here is a script that doesn't work under bash or ash : #### Begin telnet mail 25 << EOT MAIL FROM: <an_email> RCPT TO: <my_email> DATA Subject: Test sending mail with telnet Just a test Olivier . quit EOT #### End It's ok when I write this directly on a shell session (i.e without "<< EOT"). The script is ok on several Unix (Solaris, HP-UX, Linux) with several Shell. I tried "telnet mail 25 < file_with_smtp_commands" but it doesn't work. (idem with "cat file_with_smtp_commands | telnet mail 25") Redirection is ok with "bc". For example, this script is working fine : #### Begin bc << EOT 20*4 EOT #### End I tried such redirection with "PLUS80.EXE" (Oracle SQL*Plus for windows) : no success. So here are my questions : - can we use redirection with Windows executables? - is it an Unix emulation problem, a shell problem, or a telnet problem? - does a workaround exist? Regards.
