Hi David,
I looked for the source code of spawn which seems to be 2!:0@]
I tried
2!:0 'pwd'
Or
2!:0 'ls'
Which work as expected.
With
2!:0 'echo $PATH‘
I found out that there is a different path which is used by 2!:0, different
from the path in the console window.
This shorter path contains only
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
And does not contain /usr/local/bin, so
2!:0 ‚‘which dot’
Gives no answer but instead an interface error.
I assume that this is the explanation for the interface error.
Regards,
Ulrich
