I have an update script which calls "setup-x86 --quiet-mode". So far, this works great, but now it tries to install a new mintty.exe, but one mintty still running (where I started setup-x86), so setup-x86 kills this process... and setup-x86.exe is killed, too, which resulted in a damaged cygwin installation :-(
I was able to fix it by running setup-x86.exe via Windows Explorer (puhhhh!). How can I avoid this kind of problem in the future? I tried it with: setup-x86 --quiet-mode & sleep 1 kill -9 $PPID But setup-x86 was killed again, too. -- Ullrich Horlacher Server und Virtualisierung Rechenzentrum TIK Universitaet Stuttgart E-Mail: horlac...@tik.uni-stuttgart.de Allmandring 30a Tel: ++49-711-68565868 70569 Stuttgart (Germany) WWW: http://www.tik.uni-stuttgart.de/ REF:<20180419163128.ga7...@rus.uni-stuttgart.de> -- 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
