It doesn't understand cygwin ttys. If you remove the 'tty' from the settings then -t will probably work in a standard cygwin console. It will not work right with applications like 'rxvt' or 'ssh' which use cygwin ptys. There is no workaround for this other than using cygwin's perl. >If there is something more you need to know, then please _tell me what >it is_. Don't be cryptic. http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#id2854531 In the interests of helping you send a smarter question next time, here is how you could have sent your message so that it would not require several readings to figure out what was wrong: *I am using ActiveState perl. I've noticed that the following one line *application does not display 'is a tty': * *perl -le 'print "is a tty\n" if -t STDIN' * *My cygcheck output is attached as per http://cygwin.com/problems.html ." -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.
