It seems that mkshortcut is failing as of the last few weeks (when I did an upgrade to latest Cygwin). Upgrade as of today shows the same problems. I have scripts that use mkshortcut that have not changed in a long time, which worked before, and now do not.
Specifically, the man page example: mkshortcut -P http://www.cygwin.com goes into an infinite loop. mkshortcut -D http://www.cygwin.com is ok. cd /tmp && mkshortcut /cygdrive/c/root is ok cd /tmp && mkshortcut /cygdrive/c/root/Favorites returns: Aborted (core dumped). Thanks, John Refling PS: possibly a permissions problem on my side? I had recently copied the Favorites folder from another machine. I have done this periodically in the past with no ill effects to mkshortcut. -- 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
