exec( "bash..." ) from servlet

Hello,

I want to do an exec( "bash..." ) from a servlet.
But it works only standalone, with the correct output

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>UDC</TITLE></HEAD>
<pre>
Mon Jun 08 11:25:08 GMT 1998
Hello! (from .sh)
waiting...
status: 0
</pre>
</HTML>

The servlet sends this to the browser:

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>UDC</TITLE></HEAD>
<pre>
Mon Jun 08 11:19:25 GMT 1998
waiting...
status: 127
</pre>
</HTML>


Has someone an idea where this strange behaviour could come from ?

Raimund
