Check the permissions of the account that the Tomcat service is run from. You may need to enable "Permit this application to interact with the desktop" (or whatever that box is labelled).
-----Original Message----- From: Allen Gordon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 14:45 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: executing cvs commands from tomcat We have an application that requires an input form to be processed by some jsp code from within jakarta tomcat (4.0.3) running on NT4 SP6. We require version control for these input forms. Consequently, we are attempting to use runtime.exec() to executed cvs commands from cvsnt (current version). A problem we ran into is that when tomcat was run as a service, we are got an error from tomcat that it could not connect to named pipe.. The same cvs command run outside of tomcat worked fine. Other dos commands could be executed from within tomcat. However, when we stopped the tomcat service and started it as a stand-alone application, this problem disappeared and the cvs command lines were executed properly.
