Hello, Two days ago I installed the latest version of cygwin.
I've been happily using previous versions for a long time. Now I noticed that bash pauses for about 15-20 seconds before showing the prompt. I removed any vestiges of the previous installation, fearing that this could be the problem and reinstalled the latest again. The problem persisted. I investigated to the best extent possible previous posts on this mailing list regarding similar problems. I modified cygwin.bat to include --verbose for me to observe what is bash's exact start sequence. I noticed that it poses on executing "id" and doing "grep" for X11 path. Once started, all bash commands "ls", "cd", etc. work flawlessly. I did a small test "echo test | cat". This was pausing for about 10 seconds. From some of the previous posts in the mailing list I saw that this can be network related. I run a network traffic monitor just to see that no network activity is taking place upon bash start or the execution of small test above. Another problem I investigated, not very exhaustively, I removed my current user from the administrators group, fearing that it can be some security misalignment with the new installation. This change did not remove the pause. Runned "strace echo test | cat", but because of the redirection I can not see where exactly the pause occurres, I receive the entire dump at the end of the test. Decided to just stop seti@home which is running on the machine. Everything run flowlessy. Repeated running bash with and withough seti@home, it confirmed my obvesrvation. What can be the problem? -petar -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
