Hi! I have a simple script that illustrates a problem I'm dealing with in installing a software package which operates under Cygwin. It uses a modified configure/config.status scripting and then runs a make. The problem is that when the scripts are running, it seems they keep invoking other scripts and the resources are left allocated. So, by the time it gets to the make, there are not enough resources and the build aborts. When I go into Windows Task Manager, even though the Cygwin (bash) shells have long since terminated, the resources are not freed.
If I run the simple script, it shows the same type of behavior, i.e., slowly eroding resources. And, if I just let it keep running, it doesn't see that the resources have been used up and the system reboots. ---------- #!/bin/sh #filename: keepGoing.sh echo Howdy! ./keepGoing.sh ---------- I have a Windows XP Pro SP2 platform with 1024 Mb Ram and about 60 Gb free disk space and a min/max pagefile of 2/6 Gb My question is, does this exhibit expected behavior? I've checked the FAQ and mail archive, but nothing appears to be related. But then, I may not be using the "magic" search phrase. thx, Dave S. wxMS_developers ยท Development with wxWidgets on MSWindows http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/wxMS_developers/join wxMS_developers RSS feed http://rss.groups.yahoo.com/group/wxMS_developers/rss wxWidgets Code Exchange http://wxcodex.net/ -- 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/
