 | I'm trying to debug an problem I'm getting when attempting to run a mutt
process from a Runtime.getRuntime().exec() call from with a java class.
The command sent works find if run directly from the Linux shell
environment but fails with some unknown condition from the java process.
It's reporting an exit code of 1 and I'm not sure what this means.
If anyone has any experience using mutt in this manner I'd be
appreciative of any information you could provide.
regards,
Karl

sounds like a java problem...

"error"

well, if your goal is not about mutt itself
then your request is off topic here - see?
but if this is about improving mutt itself
then i'm sure you can provide some more info
on your version and your enviroment and
its use which has led to the error, right?
hint:
mutt-1.5.6> ./configure --help | grep debug
64: --enable-debug Enable debugging support

What makes you so sure about this? Because mutt's failing when executed
from a java process? It could very easily be some sort of permission
problem generated by mutt when run in this manner. Heck, I don't know,
that's why I'm asking.

So there are no other exit codes but ? 0 an 1? If so, then thanks for
the answer.

Well Mr. Guckes, I'm not all that sure of the nature of the error - see?
Therefore my question. And it's not too unlikely that mutt gets used in
this manner by others, hopefully successfully. More then a couple of
folks use Java to perform this sort of action.

well unfortunately I can't seem to find a comp.mail.mutt.withjava group
so I thought someone on this group just may have attempted this as well.
I'm sorry if you find this "off topic" but oh well, I can't do any
thing about about that now, but thanks for setting me straight. I'll go
get flamed by a Java group now.
Thanks

you didn't provide a lot info - so who can tell but yourself?

maybe looking at the code might help? quick search reveals this:
mutt-1.5.6> grep -c exit *.[ch] | grep -v :0
156 matches
after reducing the lines to those without a
number after the "exit" i get these lines:
code occurrences
0 8x
1 28x
2 1x
127 5x
exactly 42 lines. coincidence? hmm...
anyway, if you really want to know what these
exit codes mean then grep is your friend. :-)

we don't know your goal here - see? therefore my answer.

really? i wasn't aware of that.
is anyone else here using java
to perform this sort of action?
hello? anyone??
