Problems with os_cmd

[Nico Weling]

Hi all,

I'm using the os_cmd program (thanks to Ulf) which is shown at the end of this mail. If I execute kermit with os_cmd I always get only the last two lines. If I execute kermit from the unix-shell I have the important information for filesize etc.

Why don't I get this infomation with the os_cmd programm?

Thanks in advance,

best regards/Nico.
