Today in following up some helpful suggestions by members of this mailing list I ran into some additional setup issues.
For instance, right now, when I open a bash window, I find an environment where $HOME is set to /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/lvirden However, if I take a look at ~lvirden, I see that is mapped to /home/lwv27 - which doesn't exist. Is there a service or something that maps "/home" to the $HOME settings? In fact, I think I'd rather $HOME be set to /home/whatever , to eliminate those embedded spaces. Also, when I run cygrunsrv -Q cron I see a message saying that no such service is running. When I try to run cygrunsrv --start cron I get an error saying that the specified service does not exist as an installed service. I know the admin setting this up for me on my XP desktop ran the setup.exe command to install the package containing cron. Perhaps there is some other step I need to let him know about that has to be done after the install? Is there some place I can point him to help him get things setup? Thank you so much for all your help. -- Tcl - It's the real thing. http://wiki.tcl.tk/ http://www.purl.org/NET/lvirden/ http://www.xanga.com/lvirden/ Anything in this posting represents only my personal opinion. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
