Thanks to you all. When I used the curl command (which I had forgotten to use) and put the url in quotes it worked with one exception. It did not copy the "conf" folder from my custom_configs folder that I had created under the configsets folder. I was able to just add a copy command in my shell script to copy this folder over and it works just fine now.
So again thanks to all of you for your help. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ William Kevin Miller ECS Federal, Inc.

The shell doesn't know how to deal with a URL -- a URL isn't a program or a shell command. If you put the URL into a browser, which knows how to deal with it, the request will go to Solr, and then you can deal with any further problems. If you want to do it on the commandline, you're going to have to have a valid command/program for the shell. The "curl" and "wget" programs are commonly available on systems with a shell prompt. Here's one command that might work. Replace the text URL with your actual URL, and be sure that you keep the quotes: curl "URL" Thanks, Shawn
