Yes, it was funny. *WE* make you mad because we provided software to you gratis, the does almost everything you want -- except for one thing: redirecting the output of non-cygwin processes thru a cygwin tty. (read that again: redirecting a NON-cygwin process...) Seems a rather ungrateful response, to me. cgf's humorous reply was a way of pointing out that you usually catch more flies with honey than vinegar. How about: (a) I have a problem. Here's the description. Can anyone explain why it is happening, and suggest a solution. I have searched the relevant mailing list archives, and found the following responses: <url> <url>, but as you can see, they do not directly address my problem. instead of (b) You guys suck! I'm angry! I spent all day downloading cygwin and it doesn't do what I want! FIX IT!!! NOW! (Honestly, your question was closer to (a) than to (b), but the "This really makes me mad!" is rather accusatory, and changes the whole tone of your message) > > Do you think that I want to use this crappy Window$ stuff?

What is the output of 'cygcheck -s -v -r'? What is your CYGWIN variable set to? Have you tried with CYGWIN=... containing tty and not containing tty? --Chuck -- 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/
