It looks like you're using opensshd with cygwin -- not the one we normally install on guests, but rather one that outputs colorful text. Is that right? Which server are you using exactly? There's not much I can do against colorful text, because it's difficult to automatically strip the weird formatting characters from the output. I suggest that you: - Use another server, like the cygwin+opensshd we normally use for Windows guests (http://sshwindows.webheat.co.uk/), or if you're not using SCP with Windows, you can use rss.exe which I posted recently -- it's the easiest to install and works with all Windows versions (ssh doesn't always work). If you use rss.exe make sure you use telnet as a client (not ssh) by setting "use_telnet = yes" for the relevant guest in kvm_tests.cfg. The best client is actually raw nc, which I'll post patches to support soon, but telnet should work too (though it will produce a double echo for each command). - Use a more recent version of KVM-Autotest. kvm_subprocess recently got into the tree, and it handles weird responses to "echo %errorlevel%" better (especially double echo), but as long as the output is colored, it still won't work. If you upgrade, make sure you also apply the patch that fixes kvm_subprocess on Python 2.6 (if you use 2.6), or just wait until Lucas applies the patch to the tree. I know this seems a little messy, but if you wait a little while everything will sort itself out -- if I understand correctly, we are moving towards using rss.exe on all Windows guests, with nc as a client, and with kvm_subprocess controlling the client, and then most of the problems should go away (hopefully).
