Hi, the link at the end describe very well the problem I'm having. I just want to add some info and verify that the status is still negative (not doable).
The shell commands I'm trying out without success are mysql and mysqlshow with option '-p'.
I have modified cygwin.bat by removing tty from the CYGWIN setting. In this way the shell running under this "Windows window" does indeed work okay (mysqlshow). If I start an xterm from this shell and call msqlshow from that xterm then I have seen that the password is actually requested in the window from where the xterm was launched. By entering the right password in that window then I will see the expected mysqlshow output in the xterm window! When tty is used then mysqlshow does not actually hang. It goes into doing something that takes 99% of cpu time, as reported by the windows task manager. thanks, Rodrigo http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-03/msg00359.html -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
