Hi all,
I recently upgraded to 1.7.7 and a script that I use to set up a lot of
environment variables is now hanging.
The problem is quite unpredictable and I am struggling to find ways to reliably
reproduce or diagnose.
I am using csh (tcsh) and 'source'-ing a script but I have seen 'bash' hang just
running:
bash-3.2$ ls /usr/bin
(although not today!)
Typically I do something like:
% source /cygdrive/h/jek/bin/jSetfor.csh
and with 'echo' set it runs to:
...
if ( -d /cygdrive/s/syb1503/shared ) then
setenv SYBASE_JRE /cygdrive/s/syb1503/shared/`ls $SYBHOME/shared/|fgrep
jre|tail -1`
ls /cygdrive/s/syb1503/shared/
tail -1
Run again and this time it gets further but hangs with:
...
if ( -d /cygdrive/s/syb1503/REP-15_2/lib3p ) then
endif
setenv SYBASE_RPL `ls $SYBHOME|fgrep RPL-|tail -1`
ls /cygdrive/s/syb1503
fgrep RPL-
My guess is a timing issue - perhaps in the pipe?
Any thoughts on what is going wrong or what I can do to avoid it?
Many thanks and Happy New Year,
- jon.
