Christopher, > So, if /bin/sh is not available then system() won't work.
Thank you, that's precisely what I needed (you could just reply "man system", that would be enough). > Also note that if you are planning on making a program which is distributed > independent of Cygwin FYI I am installing/porting an open-source app to our Windows cluster. The app was designed for POSIX systems so I use Cygwin. Our users are developing programs on their desktops and then submit via web interface. They all potentially use different versions of Cygwin (and cygwin1.dll's) so I don't want to install a fixed Cygwin environment on a cluster. People just provide our job spawner with cygwin1.dll and executable and then we run exe. In this scenario system() will not work (because bash is missing). For now I'll work around by replacing it with brain-dead CreateProcess(). -- Best regards, Yuri -- 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
