Hi,
I have been using a very handy sudo hack, that broke lately (I think)
when updating cygwin: https://github.com/imachug/win-sudo
The trick is to spawn an elevated process using powershell and hook up
the calling file descripters. I now get "write error: Bad file descriptor"
To reproduce call:
powershell.exe Start-Process bash \"-c\",\"\'echo \>\>/proc/$$/fd/1 hello
world\;sleep 10\'\"
IMHO this used to work in former versions (print out hello world on the
calling shell). Strangely
bash -c "echo >/proc/$$/fd/1 hello world"
works. So my initial guess is that is has to do with the decoupling of
Cygwin PIDs from Windows PIDs, but there were also changes in the proc
file system...
Thanks a lot in advance for any help/thoughts!
BR
Till
