I have a strange problem with xile permissions under cygwin 1.3.13 using Mumit Khan's tcltk 8.3.3. Tcl thinks a file is executable (it's a bash script mode 755), but using Tcl's exec it won't execute it, and Tcl's file stat say's it's mode 644.
(maxima) 33 % exec /bin/ls -l [auto_execok maxima] -rwxr-xr-x 1 Schneide unknown 6128 Sep 7 15:39 C:/MIKE/CYGWIN-1.3.12/USR/LOCAL/BIN/maxima (maxima) 34 % file stat [auto_execok maxima] bar (maxima) 35 % parray bar bar(atime) = 1031371200 bar(ctime) = 1031427565 bar(dev) = 2 bar(gid) = 0 bar(ino) = 0 bar(mode) = 33188 bar(mtime) = 1031427566 bar(nlink) = 1 bar(size) = 6128 bar(type) = file bar(uid) = 0 (maxima) 36 % format %o 33188 100644 Has anyone any ideas?
