The buildslave executes the command as a subprocess -- details including environment variables are displayed here: http://darcs.net:8008/macos-tiger/builds/11/step-test/0 You could check to make sure that the environment variables and the command line are the same. If that checks out, then the only remaining thing that could explain this discrepancy is something about the stdout/stderr pipes. Perhaps when you normally run it (under bash under Terminal.app I assume) the stdout and stderr pipes are in a certain mode, and when it is run as a subprocess of the buildslave the mode is different? As I mentioned earlier, the first step would be to run the latest version of buildbot . Oh, but it would be the client-side (buildslave side) buildbot, not the server-side (buildmaster side) buildbot as I earlier suggested. This description doesn't say what version of buildbot you are running: http://darcs.net:8008/macos-tiger I will open a ticket requesting that information be added to the buildbot pages. ;-) http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/197# (show version number of buildslave buildbot code) Meanwhile, could you please make sure that you are running the latest stable buildbot code on the OSX Tiger buildslave?
