I use Cygwin with rxvt. I also use Rational Clearcase. Clearcase has a command line tool called cleartool. When I start cleartool from a Windows Bash shell I get the prompt:
$ cleartool cleartool> However if I run rxvt and then issue a cleartool command I do not get the prompt: $ cleartool <just sits here> Now if I type in a cleartool subcommand then that command does execute. For example, I can type "quit" and cleartool exits. Note this also happens when I telnet into a box running Cygwin. I have sumeized that the problem is that rxvt and apparently in.telnetd (et. al.) use ptys and cleartool just doesn't like 'em. Is there any way to fix this? I thought that perhaps using "tty" in the CYGWIN environment variable might fix things up but it doesn't. In fact I've seen tty mess more things up than fix them. If one sets CYGWIN="ntsec tty" then one types in vim in a Windows Bash shell then exits echo is turned off, never to return! Attempting to turn it on with stty echo give you "stty: standard input: unable to perform all request operations". Anybody knows how to sort this all out to elminate these problems? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
