I'd need to see your entire script to know for sure. Perhaps you are using calls to 'set' or using shell functions, either of which modifies $1 from the value that you passed on the command line. But the point remains - your improper quoting of $1 is not a cygwin-specific issue. > Speculation: Since cygwin1.dll was updated last week, perhaps > something happened there. Less likely. But without seeing your entire script, it's hard to say. You haven't given anyone else enough to go on. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
